Regarding the ledge at the public library

Sunday, November 7th, 2010

It is my favorite spot to skateboard. It has a one foot high ledge made of "Winona Travertine" a local limestone that runs around the building and grinds like a dream. The sidewalk around it however, is total shit. It is rough and provides plenty of cracks to catch a ...
