If that is the case, I can work buying new hoops into the Kid's Cove project. I personally challenge any mayoral candidate to a game of horse.

I would think it is best to keep Kid's Cove a separate project as you have that moving pretty well right now.
The rumor is because of tagging at Harrison they took them down. I personally find it odd that they take down hoops then tell us there is a problem with curfew. I agree with Beejay, we have to channel kids energies.
As for taking on any mayoral candidate. You might want to be careful. Was at the YMCA with Mayor Tom George. With hard shoes, and his left hand filled he proceeded to make 3 out of 5, all outside the key, one of the two that missed stopped on the back of the rim.
It was pretty impressive.
