tybee skatepark is dead

it’s finally done.  i heard it for years.  tonight the tybee city council voted , 5 to 1, that there will be no public skatepark on public land of any kind on tybee island, ga.  i am truly at a loss for words.  as many of you know i have dedicated four years of my life to this project.  and to see it die in one night really hits me hard.  you guys know i can be an asshole, but these people on tybee really have me beat.  they wouldn’t even give us the interest gained on the money we raised.  apparently there is a lot of labor involved in maintaining a bank account.  i don’t know where to go from here, whether its returning money or putting toward a skatepark in chatham county.  alot of people donated money for a skatepark on tybee and tybee alone.  i just don’t know.
