Go Skate Day in Hemming Plaza



It doesn't take much to add life and vibrancy to downtown's Hemming Plaza.  The programming of a variety of events on a regular basis can instantly change the public space's image.  Kona's Go Skate Day illustrates this phenomenon.  Today, Metro Jacksonville shares sights and scenes from last week's Go Skate Day in Hemming Plaza.

The piece in the paper about Tony Allegretti skateboarding across from the Chamber was pure genius:

Pictures are in equal parts  impressive and mildly hilarious (his tie!)

To be fair, Allegretti was pretty helpful in getting the permitting through.  Actually instrumental.

But you are right, the tie is hilarious. ;)

The wholly unironic self promotion is just typical at this point, lol.

Another great downtown event. Is the city listening?
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

If the City is not listening , GET ON THE MEGAPHONE.

Pictures speak 1000 words and this photo-essay says it all.

Tremendous job, Metro Jacksonville!!!!
