How goes the “Tot Lot”? According to Pat Kohn, obvious progress has been made since the last report. To be located at the northwest corner of Pershing and Des Peres, the lot is being planned and will be built in conjunction with Street Revival, a Washington University based group of architecture students.
Materials received to date for the project include:
- lumber—Weyerhauser Lumber Co.
- 300 tires—Goodyear Tire Co.
- pipe and barrels—Socony Mobil Oil Co.
- fill dirt—Curtis Davidson
- all concrete—Basic Cement Company
- tree house—Mr. Woods
Although this much progress has been made, the lot still needs the following items:
- paint
- new lumber
- marine plywood
- cement and gravel
- bulldozer (or lots of manual labor)
Those interested in making contributions, helping locate materials or assisting with construction should contact Pat Kohn, 863-9259 or Kathy Harlemen, 725-8929.
