In and Out of Love

The late Ed Bacon is the architect who conceived of Philadelphia’s Love Park (aka JFK Plaza). In 2002 the park was renovated to deter skateboarders from using it. On October 28, 2002—at age 92—Bacon rode a skateboard to protest the ban on skateboarding. Listen to Epsiode 71 – In and Out of Love and hear the full story on 99% Invisible.

    That was true beauty. It don’t matter who did what first. All that matter is that we did!
