The once elementary/ middle school, Asa Messer/ Bridgham located in Providence RI now temporarily closed for the time being is known to the skateboard community as a nationally recognized skateboard destination for skateboarders. The granite branches that are at the front entrance serve as a great obstacle to preform various skateboard maneuvers. Kenny plans to install those historic benches along with a ground mural talking about its importance at the rink during PVD Fest while offering a free skateboard jam with opportunity to win prizes.
