I vote we turn it into a skate park/concert venue/and retail store called the "Low-Maintenance Bastard" so that Seattlest will stop calling us Namby Pambies.

Then by your logic the so-called "wallingford hole" should be a strip club. It could still retain its name too.

I enjoy Safeco Field even though I don't play baseball. I'm a spectator.

Then why a skatepark if you're not going to thrash that shit, bro?

I have a longboard so if by "thrash" you mean roll my fat ass down the Burke-Gilman, then yes, yes I do.

Do you still thrash, Dan?

You know, I wanted to speculate what the giant hole could be used for in the post proper, but I couldn't come up with anything good. Either wave pool or ball pit would have sufficed. If we just let it sit long enough it may morph into the country cousin of the ball pit: the mud pit. I vote skatepark, though.

My daughter would like to see a huge ball pit there. They could let adults in at night and serve alcohol. ball pit + alcohol = $$$

I've walked by that spot just about every day for the last 3 years, and I've had a single, desperate hope that we would get the one thing Wallingford desperately needs - GIANT WAVE POOL! It's perfectly set up for it; shallow at one end and deep at another, close to a food source in the 7-11, and major bus lines run right to the corner. We can't lose....
