Subject: [HistoricWashington] McMillan Park: History Happened, July 13 Meeting
Good
McMillan Park supporters!
Something happened this weekend which hasn't in more than 70 years at McMillan Park... people of all backgrounds and ages watched fireworks in all directions from inside the illegal fence which has been up since WW2. Amazing! >> https://www.facebook.com/savemcmillan
Thank you to the 60+ people who came out on that soggy night and showed love for our McMillan Park. Tasty food, lively friends, and explosive fireworks on July 4th exposing the unethical giveaway of our public park. Special thanks to James who hosted us at his amazing house, wow!
We've held up the destruction of our national landmark with strong appeals of the zoning and preservation decisions to turn the wonderful underground waterworks at McMillan into rubble, and hand over the parkland to private developers for no money!
