River City Skatepark doesn't exist yet, but the future site in Seattle's South Park neighborhood is getting prepped now and there is an opportunity to help plant some trees there next week. Stop by on Monday around 10:30. Bring gloves. See our last post on this for the location.

Because not everyone is content to wait around until the Earth's natural geologic activity outpaces Seattle Process by burping up a lava flow miraculously formed into the shape of a skatepark, Grindline and River City Skatepark are going it alone. Sorta. They're attempting to put together a privately developed public skate park in the heart of South Park (because, yeah, we were wondering about "River City" too). When it's finished, there will be a huge bowl section, an extensive street park, and offices for the skatepark design company Grindline. They just got finished clearing the lot.

Yesterday Seattlest went to Hana on Broadway for lunch. We were meeting an old college friend there. "You know why I love getting lunch here?" he said, as he sat down. "Because I remember when I used to come here for lunch and get steamed rice with some teriyaki sauce on top. That was all I could afford. I only shelled out the $5 for teriyaki chicken if I felt rich." Ah, college days.
