Nice work, Kap'n. Makes one proud to be from Longview. We all appreciate your efforts, you and Boomer, too! (I'm sure the Boomster showed remarkable restraint while in that vacant lot, what with all those kids diving in the mud and all.) kaput commented 12/07/2007 Excellant production and KKaptain Kaboom is a wonderful mascot. The existing "play area" reminds me of the kinds of play areas we had when I was a kid many long years ago. However, Longview is a beautiful place to be in and live in and a new park with modern equipment will be a wonderful addition to our city. Verla commented 12/07/2007 I'm proud to have been born and raised in Longview and still live here. We can never have too many parks or playgrounds for our kids.
