WBUR reports on an actual groundbreaking for the skate park that's been promised for the area along the Charles near the Zakim for what seems like forever now and that the groundbreakers are promising the thing will actually be open in a year.
WBUR also reports how Nancy Schon, the sculptor of the Make Way for Ducklings statues in the Public Garden and the tortoise and the hare sculptures in Copley Square, got the whole thing started.

Groundbreaking was scheduled for 9 am today

CRC is providing some live updates. Suggests there is a pretty good turn out.

Just in time . . .
Just in time for my nephew (who has been waiting for this) to head out of town for college!
In keeping with my expectation that some part of the Green Line will open just as we decide retirement is feasible & leave Somerville to move to the family home in NH.
