Friends of Riverside Park, it's wonderful the pipe dream of qualifying for a grant. I should tell you my first day in Riverside Park was as a boy of three. We grew up on Central Avenue before our home was taken by eminent domain long before the little pink house! I even have pocket change buried there from long ago. Yes it's still there. Like usual, not always, I go clean up the wrappers the bottles and cans. I want you to know there are many glass shards that need picking up as we speak. Please put down your phone and go pick it up.
