I can see this as good for Mud Island, a badly needed recreational opportunity for our youth, and a good source of revenue and recognition for Memphis and especially downtown.
With that said, there is one person who really needs to be convinced. Has Mayor Wharton expressed an opinion on the subject? Do any of y'all have a good relationship with A C?
Support of the skate park on Mud Island is in Mayor Wharton's platform, we're happy to say.
