    which park is paranoid park? Also great job leading the St Johns pick up. Only my grandmas trip to seaside and the dog eating my homework could keep my son and I from going. Keep up the good work.

    In the movie Paranoid Park the protagonist asks his friend, “Do you think I’m ready for Paranoid Park?” The other kid answers, “Nobody’s ever ready for Paranoid Park.”

    Burnside is right in the middle of Portland but I only skate it maybe once every couple of months. I do go through periods when I skate there more often. I always have fun but it would suck if it was full of little scooter kids and rollerbladers. I think we’re building all the other skateparks to keep Burnside safe from skateboarding’s current popularity.

    The Street Kid used to hand at ‘Paranoia’ Park because for years Greenhouse (Homeless youth drop in) used to be on 9th and Oak… but not so much anymore. It is ‘Relatively Mentally Stable and Meth Free’ park now b/c the system alienated a lot of chronically homeless young people… and they are now all on the East coast but thats a long boring story.
