Dan Zeman's lease has run out. He's no longer in Blagden Alley. That hurts. He filled the alley with a lot of younger people quite late at night. That's a good thing. Lots of people is anathema to the drug and prostitution trade. We had severe tagging going on a few years ago in Blagden Alley, Naylor Court, and the surrounding blocks. When Dan came onto the scene, tagging ceased in Blagden Alley.

There was an article in the WaPo a couple of Sundays ago which covers a lot of the history of Blagden Alley's time with the skateboarding world. It's here. The editor understands that some in the younger generation do more exciting things than he did at that age, unless you include climbing down the side of Royal Gorge when you aren't supposed to and not roped in. We will miss the crew.
