By the way, I live in Greenville, South Carolina, but since my city was not on the list, I could not feel any happier about giving my vote to Atlanta. Spartanburg does not deserve this award, in my opinion, but Atlanta is a real city with its priorities in line to make a significant difference in the lives of its children. Vote now!

Thanks Kaboom for this opportunity.

Wow! I really thought we'd be further ahead. How can we get some more votes? I am sending the link to all the groups I belong to: neighborhood, co-workers, church. This should be an easy $25K to get if we all work together. I want my kid to have a lot of wonderful places to play when he is older -- plus a skate park!

AND, to the nay sayer (jibogus - "dangerous place to play"): If we had more recreation choices for both adults and children, there'd be fewer bored folk to get into trouble.
