"It started in the building next door to the rectory, and then it just kind of migrated because of how the winds were that night.""Moving forward right now, we're currently in the assessment phase. We have some engineers and some architects that are coming through to take a look at everything and see what we can keep and what we can't keep, but we're not giving up," said Bedwell. "We're going to try to do the best we can. And continue to have the space to be open to the community; try maybe, possibly, to build our skate park."Community support has played a pivotal role in the efforts to rebuild Sk8 Laborious. Among the numerous supporters, Mission Taco, a local restaurant chain, stands out.Jay...
