Having been a resident and patron for over 30 years of the “famous” surf shop at Bay Street and Main Street, I find it hard to believe that there would be any discussion on making it a historical site (“Defenders of Dogtown digging in,” Jan. 30, page 1). Maybe a rehab center or a place for all of us recovering from the ’70s hangover to meet. Yes, to commemorate the birth of modern skateboarding and progressive surfing, I am in favor of. A plaque or sculpture would honor all of us nicely. But let’s leave the “Hysterical” (sic) Society out of it.
