Here at Dreamland, Saturday the 1st… bring your friends and meet new ones you don’t have yet. No set times… just get out there and stay there until you can’t skate anymore. This one’s for Mike.

The skate community in Houma is trying yet again to get their local government to do the right thing and get a park build for it’s ever growing scene… this time it looks like they’re really getting heard thanks to some really good journalism by Houma Today Staff Writer Naomi King.

Read the piece and watch the video by clicking here.

The story is especially good because the reporter listened to the local skaters in her area, and went further by exploring Hammond’s impact socially and financially, going so far as to contacting Mayor Foster, Hammond’s Parks and Rec administrator Joey Keener, and others from Hammond, Houma, and areas nearby.

PLUS KERRY! hehe

The law mentioned in the article is linked to in this old piece (signed into law by Governor Mike Foster in 2001):
clicky: Act 1199, 2001 House Regular Session

Best of luck to our friends in Houma, and cheers for the excellent, articulate reporting. Bonus points because no surf terminology was used!
