Pier Park Opening Day Shots
As I was putting these together I got a report from field agent Wes Cording that he had a fun session there today but it got rained out. Apparently there are several parked cars full of skaters waiting for the rain to stop again. Until then, here are some more pics of the opening day of Pier Park.

Brainstorming lastnight about little yellow things made me think.
