No one wants it. And they're going ahead. I find it mind-boggling and infuriating that the City would oppose the citizens in this way.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-49384001047222050882012-03-19T10:36:40.615-07:002012-03-19T10:36:40.615-07:00You mean the giant rock guy?

Lukens. <br /><br />I've volunteered to be a tour guide this year. I'd recommend anyone not familiar with this vast natural playground to come along - the walk's not very far or fast, and you'll learn lots of fascinating information about the birds, plants and animals that call this place their home.Bellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10168550139269893109noreply@blogger.com
