Whitehall finishing touches



Random day at Pops Park



New Whitehall and Pops Park

When your in the city trying to get some work done, and you start to realize, 'wow, there just isn't anywhere else to skate' you can thank Jesse with the Franklin Paine Foundation for working hard to get us some great concrete parks actually BUILT.

When I first seen Pops, I was blown away. He brought the the asethics of the greatest city spots from around the world into a small, flowing, concrete design that everyone loves. If you ever been in this part of the city before Pops' time you would understand that now there is a noticeable transformation of the vibe coming from the neighborhood.

Whitehall was dead. Well I felt it was. No one would hold events there anymore, the neighborhood basically took it over.

Jesse did a great thing taking control of the park. When I heard Whitehall was being rebuilt, I was hyped. I think I speak for all of us when I say, Great job Jesse.
