Monday, Complaining About the Park, I Think It Was the 3rd of July
Those park-loving Ann Arborites were out in full force at last night’s city council meeting to protest the rezoning of part of Dolph Park from township to public land. While making the area a public park would at least prevent the development of dreaded condos, it would fail in the primary goal of “keeping the park area ours,” one concerned resident explained. Another pointed out that there’s a sign that marks the area as a private park. “It’s our park,” he said.
What would happen if the park became public? Well, “young people” might show up near the residents’ “private street.” One speaker raised the scenario of “other people utilizing it for things that are not nature.” “Where are these people coming from?” asked another. Where indeed?
You’ll be glad to hear that the rezoning was postponed until a meeting can be held with nearby property owners to address these and other questions.
Isn’t Dolph Park already full of un-nature like behaviour ? Not that I partake but I’ve heard rumors for years that’s where gay men meat up for anonymous encounters. Ok, thanks google. http://addressforsex.com/usa/mi/s210953.shtml

posted by Nitro on July 5th, 2006 at 9:40 amHey is Dolph park named after the famous Swedish-born action star, Dolph Lundgren?
Because if it is, for sure it needs to be made a public park.
You know, for worshipping.
