[Lincolnparkdc] memory of island

[regina arlotto]

Very good reminder Alden.Thanks for your historical perspective. For what
it's worth, I know I was one of the people who objected to the loss of the
open space on poopy island because they impeded the throw of my kids when
they played catch with their lacrosse sticks. But you know what, I realized
quickly that the trees are a benefit for all, and my kids could play catch
somewhere else. It was not about just me and my family.

Best,
Gina
