Not only that, he really motivates us to get shit done! Ryan is a cool dude and I’m glad to have him on my side. Ryan loves BMX and his work shows that. I look forward to hanging with him more and hope more people show him some love! Thanks Ryan.”

The Franklin’s Paine website has an article about how they have managed to save a bunch of the granite from the now remodeled Dilworth Plaza for use in the soon to come skateplaza…
“Franklin’s Paine was able to secure over 400 cubic feet of granite removed from Dilworth Plaza at City Hall for reinstall at the Paine’s Park site. We are sad to see City Hall torn up, but grateful that these historic pieces of granite will continue to be skated in Philly for years to come. We are still on track for a late spring ground breaking and will continue to update on our progress!”
Paul Horan posted this photo on Instagram a few hours ago of the remains of City Hall, rest in peace.
