SoWhat poodle poop park open for business

They say it cost $3.5 million to build. Acquiring the site cost $7 million, and there were no doubt some additional costs in between, like paying off the old storage space tenants and cleaning up the hazardous waste. Maybe $13 million or $15 million total for two acres of bare-bones park? Go by streetcar! Bring your poodle!

And stand by for the pedestrian bridge over the freeway. What recession?

For that amount of money, it better be a crazed sex poodle park.

The irony is that on the same page, the announcement of the demise of the neighborhood wading pools in 36 neighborhood parks because there is no money. The headline of the closing being nestled under a picture of the tram.
