Thursday, 3/27 --
Hello, & welcome to the Showgram.
JC’s entire rant about the ballpark was just a ploy to save the Bowling Hall of Fame.
Our ideas for the hole we call “Lake DeWitt:” Everyone bring two bricks & a bag of dirt & we’ll fill it up in no time, make it a NASCAR Track, or an asphalt torture center for scalpers, or a Bassmaster lake, or John’s apartment for the 40 reconstruction, or taking the construction debris from said construction & put it in the hole. Dave says we should leave it alone & call it the Mosquito Museum (featuring, as Laurie said, “Skeeter Pops”).
The fictional, I’m sorry, future ballpark village looks nice!
