Mac Court

Our little family went to the last men's basketball game played at Mac Court. I have fond memories of the rumbling enthusiasm that is Mac Court but am delighted to see the Duck's future at Matt Court-for more than just a couple of reasons...
One can only hope that we will no longer ponder our demise if fire were to spread through the rickety building with it's maze of stairways...
We may never worry again about the strange open windows at child height on the 3rd story...with a little push on the lead based paint shutter he'd be meeting parking lot...
The knees of our neighbors may never again dig into our backs.
No more contemplating if my child could or would climb through that strange opening and if the crowd below will catch him.
Our knees may never again dig into the backs of others...kind of sad...
I'm glad my kids were able to experience the excitement that has been Mac Court...even if those experiences were near death experiences.
