Linda Vista Landmark Skateworld Faces the Wrecking Ball of Redevelopment
Dear JoeDeegan, Even though your comment is a fitting end for this commentary thread, I'd like to respond. First, I want to thank you for writing about this topic. Linda Vista is too often ignored. Second, I think you noticed that your mix of article and editorial has either confused people so much that they feel the urge to write hateful comments or they use it to support their preconceived opinions. Third, on a personal note and to respond to comment #9: I have left Bayside a year ago and I'm not affiliated in any way but the feeling of friendship for the wonderful people working there and an appreciation for the cause they serve. I don't stand to benefit from aforementioned project in any way and was not involved in it at any time. Fourth, don't we all wish that San Diego would really be "America's Finest City"? Here's hoping that the friction of this conflict causes enough positive energy to provide Linda Vista, the heart of the city, with a better future.— September 6, 2010 8:36 a.m.
Linda Vista Landmark Skateworld Faces the Wrecking Ball of Redevelopment
I had the pleasure to work as a full time volunteer at Bayside in 2008 and 2009. I'm a bit surprised by how the storyline is drawn and the previous comments are written. It is a black and white view of the world and the players involved. Skateworld is pictured as good and trustworthy, while Bayside is somewhat devious and untrustworthy. I resent this. Donna has been an outstanding advocate for the community of Linda Vista. Bayside and its present and former Executive Directors and Board members have been fighting for this community for decades. Insinuations, innuendo and libel don't raise the level of debate. I invite anyone reading this to take a stroll around the neighborhood. You will see with your own eyes that something needs to be done and what impact three decades of Skateworld had on the area. Here is hoping that the fierceness of the debate will subside and that Linda Vistans will work together as a community.— September 2, 2010 11:21 a.m.
