welcome to Rittenhouse

Despite meddling efforts from the less-than-well-informed Citizens for Saving Schuylkill River Park, it appears that construction for the Connector Bridge is finally underway. We don’t know how everyone will be able to survive the next year and a half with a smaller dog park, but from what we see, it seems like some people have already figured it out. And don’t expect construction to suddenly stop- the old dog park is way gone. Here’s a small gallery of photos showing that we’re speaking the truth.

Can hardly wait til next October! Not to worry, folks. We’ll keep you updated along the way.

    I was at the dog park a few days ago, and a lady was trying to get me to donate money to help pay a bill from Damon k Roberts.  They owe him over 14K, she showed me the bill.  Not sure what Damon is doing for them, do you have any idea?
