ST - Feedback on moving fighter practice?

[Bryan & Michelle Hanson]

As a resident of Carrollton and someone who frequents this park regularly 
mundanely and a non-fighter (hopeful future siege weapon & combat archer 
but not fighter - ow!) - take the following comments for what they worth.

The play area itself is awesome!  Children love it and are quite willing to 
spend their entire lives there if only their parents would let them.  It is 
completely enclosed, has several children there every weekend (so even if 
your child was the only one to visit for fighter practice, there would be 
no lack of playmates), and is sturdily built and well-maintained.  The 
teenagers and adults of the area built it for the neighborhood some years 
back and they take great pride in their maintenance of it.  This is the 
neighborhood where my husband grew up and we are there rather frequently to 
visit the paternal Grandparents.  This neighborhood is a great place.  I 
would not necessarily term it a particularly "yuppie" neighborhood, 
however.  (Of course I wouldn't term myself a yuppie either but have been 
called such! <grin>)  There are several families who could be construed as 
yuppies if one was so inclined; however, there are also several families 
who would not fall into that definition strictly speaking.  There are 
several older couples who live there whose children have grown and moved 
away.  And there are several people who have no children at all.  There are 
elderly couples, etc., you get the idea.  As for interest, who knows?!  But 
that, in my experience, is usually the case anyway.

As for the zip code being a "yuppie" one, to my knowledge (and no I haven't 
checked with the post office as I am not terribly interested in knowing for 
fact <grin>) there are only 2-3 zip codes that apply to Carrollton anyway. 
 The only people I know who live in Carrollton (which would of course be 
approximately one thousandth, at least, of the true population I'm sure) 
live in the 75006 zip code, including that park.  And every one of the 
people I know could be labeled yuppies.

I have occasionally (very occasionally) gone to fighter practice at the 
hill but haven't recently because there is nothing really for me or my 
mobile child to do.  The other child isn't particularly interested whether 
we go to fighter practice of not.  :) :)  I can't say that if fighter 
practice was moved I would be any more inclined to go than I was 
previously, even if it closer to my house - there would still be very 
little for me to do personally (my child on the other hand...).  As a 
matter of fact, since I have begun to attend archery practice on a regular 
basis, the hill is closer.  But again, I don't fight and have no real plan 
to fight as anything other than a combat archer and maybe run siege 
weapons.

P.S.   This is merely my wholly unasked for but given opinion anyway AND 
the spaces between the lines are completely blank, both literally & 
figuratively!  :) :) :)

I know that whatever the ultimate decision is, it will be made for in the  
 best interest of those who DO attend fighter practice on a regular basis 
(i.e. not me!!).
