“While everyone agrees the current facility has outlived its life cycle, the “Modified Flip” proposal in Eugene Morlot Memorial Park is a 20th-century solution to a 21st-century opportunity. Build the Harborside Recreation Hub at 100 Arch Street and renovate the existing Hamill rink as a low-impact neighborhood facility.” – James J O’Brien Continue Reading →
