♦ Back in the mid 60’s I built a homebrew skateboard out of wood plank and outfitted it with wheels cannibalized from roller skates. I’d go flying down steep hills in G-Town (a Philadelphia neighborhood) and the famous Manayunk Wall (a very long and extremely steep roadway formed by several streets and an avenue passing through the Manayunk community and winding up in Roxborough). So I was gung ho the other day when I watched Myles Cannon, a skateboarder and Rowan-Cabarrus Early College Student, give an excellent presentation promoting a skateboard park for Salisbury before City Council.
