The first post sounds ...TO: 8.46 & 9.20<br /><br /> The first post sounds like a city employee or a cheerleader for the Friends of the Parks. His blog defies logic and exhibits questionable reasoning powers. His last sentence is reallly a mindless and meaningless statement, reflecting the 'live for today and the hell with the consequences' of stupid and un- thought out actions. Sadly, this is a typical statement for many people living in 2010 Allentown. No common sense, and probably, low IQ.<br /><br /> Post # 9.20: Does the person really believe there would be people of sound mind who would be foolish enough to want to have a picnic across from Cedar Beach and on the creekside, when a floodstage alert is occuring?<br /><br />Anon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-3137253446445360772010-06-28T09:44:51.108-04:002010-06-28T09:44:51.108-04:00anon 8:46, the area is no smaller, if it was the ...anon 8:46, the area is no smaller, if it was the original stones would extend beyond the new macadam plateau.<br /><br />anon 9:20, yes i believe they will backfill the macadam platform. sad for our park system to have such a monstrosity built, sad to have apologists like 8:46michael molovinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581039755319742687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-2703363003082112712010-06-28T09:20:32.561-04:002010-06-28T09:20:32.561-04:00MM -
