a new beginning for Galveston, an ending in Austin

The city of Galveston is hosting a groundbreaking ceremony today for its long-awaited concrete public skatepark. Here’s the Galveston design on Grindline’s site. It’s going to sit directly on the beach and will be built strong enough to withstand a hurricane. Mark Hubbard, who’s something of a hurricane himself, will lead the build.
Sadly, the Skatepark of Austin is closing its doors on the 26th. Tomorrow will mark the last old-man’s night in the 69-bowl.

Skatepark of Austin closing? What’s up with that? A new public skatepark opened in Houston last week:
