Mimi goes to Gitmo

Guantanamo Bay with Mimi Knoop

Somehow or other we reported on a prefab concrete and metal skatepark being built at Guantanamo Bay by Spohn Ranch, and nobody made any torture jokes. For some reason, Mimi Knoop (with Zach Miller, Adam Taylor and Cara-Beth Burnside) recently travelled there to session the old park remnants as well as some of the new stuff. Photog Athena Lonsdale shot a tour diary, and Spohn Ranch has a set of the concrete shots from Guantanamo Bay on Flickr. - Thanks to Keith Hamm for the tip.

    I want that bowl. I don’t care if it’s prefab, more like prefabulous.

    I thought the bowl construction photos were very interesting. Am I even allowed to admit that, being from the NW?
