Transcript

Theresa: Before what I really liked about it, especially when he was younger… when the kids were younger, was the concerts because as adults you want to get out, you want to listen to good music, you want to enjoy yourself- but where are you going to put the kids? Perfect! Because you have the park in the back.

Interviewer: Yep

Theresa: So you can just put your chair closer to the Park.

Interviewer: MmHmm

Theresa: They’re playing, they know where you are, they know where to find you because your close to the Park- but you’re listening to music the whole time. Bring a coffee, there’s ice cream sold, there’s popcorn, hot dogs- I don’t know if they still do that because I haven’t been there in about two years like I said, but.

Interviewer: Yep

Theresa: It was a great place to ah, we both win, right? The kids are winning because they are having fun doing their thing and we’re winning, the adults are winning, because we’re enjoying ourselves.
