I stand by my contention that -farm out the design? I have never seen it happen. The opposite,  dear,IMHO. LA are so f-ing egotistical, so confident and competitive. No, buddy, there is another reason. I challenge you to find some fact to buttress your case – and by that I mean a history time line – I distinctly remember when cedar modular p…[Read more]

The story of the stamped out play structure playgrounds  is not one of LA’s being lazy and thoughtless.. Might be a good topic for a thesis,…[Read more]
