Canal Park Opening Day / Photo Gallery
November 16, 2012
Another Near Southeast "finally," as the long-planned park gets its ribbon cutting. (The ice rink opened too--photos here, along with photos from the park's opening night.) For more information about the construction, including "before" photos, see my project page.
