Jimi Hendrix Gets A New Doo

Zoo doo, that is. The park adjacent to the Northweat African American Museum has recieved a giant load of topsoil. Over the last couple of weeks, workers were finishing up the insallation of a sprinkler system, and are now covering the park with manure--and covering the neighborhood in sweet aromas of rhinocerous, elephant, hippo...

This is a welcome development for the Jimi Hendrix Park, long in planning, development, and even longer in execution. The former parking lot may now, finally, become a place where people go to do park kinds of things rather than simply pass through.

Now, when will that Jimi Hendrix statue from Broadway delivered?
