Today, City officials proudly announced the dedication of HYRO Park (pronounced Hero), an urban dog park named in honor of former K9 Officer HYRO, who served the Lawrenceville Police Department with distinction for seven years. HYRO Park, located adjacent to the Lawrenceville Lawn, will officially open to the public on August 9, 2024. A special dedication ceremony, attended by elected officials, city leaders, and members of the Lawrenceville Police Department, was held at the nearly completed park. Mayor David Still, City Manager Chuck Warbington, Lt. Jimmy Inlow, and Ofc Sean O’Brien offered remarks. Chief John Mullin revealed the park’s name, which had been kept secret until today’s ceremony, and shared, “It’s not just a safe place for people to come play with their dogs. It’s a place to bring the community together. It sends a message from the city that we believe in community and are focused on bringing people together.” HYRO Park will be open during daylight hours beginning August 9, 2024, aligning with the operating hours of the Lawrenceville Lawn.

My heart is asking me to listen on sidewalks a lot and double down on writing my book on Sidewalk Talk. And May marks 9 years of Sidewalk Talk. Happy Birthday Sidewalk Talk. 🎂 Holy $hittballs you have taught me a lot. I am doing "book therapy" right now because I want to say some dangerous stuff about our dehumanizing ways. I want to be clear in my psyche as I write. The Identity Trap (yes a nod to Yascha Mounk's book of the same name) we are in right now I will roar about. Listening on sidewalks has chipped away at my reverence to identity obsession while I remain committed to inclusion and justice. I am glad to have sorted how to run Sidewalk Talk sustainably to my spirit while allowing it to safely expand. I burnt myself out three years ago. Lots of soul work, mistakes, learning boundaries. Operationally, Sidewalk Talk has expanded beyond a background checked chapter leader model where folks must pay to be a leader bc the application process is costly. Many just wanted to listen with a friend and not do a chapter. So...Tah Dah...we listened. Sidewalk Talk now gives you the "How To" to grab a friend and go listen in a friend group on the Sidewalk safely and effectively for FREE ... not even needing to be expressly part of Sidewalk Talk. A complete democratization. We still charge money for our trainings on Listening and Conflict resolution and chapter leadership so we can cover operating expenses. But everything else is freely offered. Cool eh? Go listen? www.sidewalk-talk.org
