REMEMBER THE TUNNEL!!
Back in 2004 when most had not even thought to mix up concrete and trowel out ramps under a roof this place off Broadway and Mound Street was hive for a core group of vigilantes who had a vision.
Now "The Tunnel" is gone just like the "Tennis Courts" and soon to be wrecked in the next 2 years will be the park under the bridge in St. Louis, "Kings Highway".
Hermann's Hole will remain!! And with it the inspiration from all concrete skatepark DIY will keep their memories alive!! There are still plenty of visions for projects out there in the ditches, woods, alleys, bridges, and vacant buildings... So get out there and do it because no one is gonna do it for you!!!
If your not doing any thing constructive... Put on your mask... Grab a shovel... Get out here and build!!!
