I decided to venture outside of my normal 3 lunch parks and check out a new one today. Lafayette skate plaza is this mellow little plaza in west downtown. kinda by k-town. It was a fun park to cruise around and it seemed like a great place to go skate if you wanted to take it easy and be mellow. That aspect of it slightly reminded me of cherry, except that i like this more than cherry because there is a mellow 3 stair, the ledges have a bit more character, and not every single person there is trying to passively show you all of their cool tricks. I would be super hyped if this was where cherry is and i could casually skate it like i do cherry (pretty sure you all know how i feel about that place). I'm sure i'm one of the few that would hold such an opinion, but whatever.
It was a fun park, doubt i'll go back regularly because it was kind of a crappy drive through downtown from my work to get there. its always a good time to check out new places though, and i am pumped that my "close enough to work to be skateable during lunch" number of skateparks went up by 1.

| when you're done skating you just throw your shoes on the electric line for next time. or something like that... |
I hope this wasn't too painful to read/look at,
