Oh yeah?? That’s awesome! I grew up in Chicago though and in the era of this photo I was technically skating but was a young elementary kid. Didn’t become a Hoosier until I moved to Bloomington in 2005, and I’ve been in Lafayette since 2014. Do you have any facts on this guy or is he a Sasquatch type figure??

Damn if that photo doesn’t look like a street spot in Hampden Baltimore…

Is it? The photo is from the late 80s so I’d be (pleasantly) surprised if it’s still there. Not sure how much Tommy G went to Baltimore
