The Fight Has Only Just Begun

The frat house on hole 8 continues to constantly break glass, the homeless population and drunken people knock over garbage cans, and those in the city responsible for maintaining the park still do not empty the garbage cans. I pledge that over the next year, our focus will be on a more ... more
