>> first of all, what a treat
to have otis redding iii here
with us this morning.
i am a huge fan.
and as an elected official, as
a politician, many of my role
models are musicians and otis
redding is one of them.
and he sang my favorite version
of the sam cook song, a change
is going to come.
beautiful, beautiful rendition.
and it is amazing to have you
here to bless this site where
he based his last song before
he died too young.
as a district supervisor for
this area, i am genuinely
excited to welcome a new park
into our district.
many of our residents know
this.
we have the fewest parks and we
have the smallest parks in the
city.
and compared to residents of
other parts that may have 25
acres per residence, we have
less than one, about .7.
so, this park is a very
important addition to
completing the neighborhood
that we live in.
