Name This Park!

I love these naming contests. They draw the usual riff-raff and vulgarities that are not ready-for-prime-time, but titillate the contest committee members for a split-second. At least, it would me. There is a derelict playfield (City of Seattle's words, not mine) behind Magnolia's Elementary School that has knockout views of downtown Seattle and Mt. Rainier. And I'm sure developers were drooling at the thought of getting their hands on this 2.4 acre beauty. So, here's my suggestion for the name of the park:

Cry Your Eyes Out, Developers, Park!

On the other side of Magnolia is an abandoned site where the Briarcliff School used to sit. This property has been the center of dispute between the developer and the neighborhood. It looks like a ruling came down Nov. 7 in favor of the developer, which means they do not have to reduce the number of homes planned for the site. Don't look now, but here come some tall skinnies, and I'm not talking about coffee.

Oh yeah, the Name the Park Contest Info:
