Southsea Bronx

Southsea is a part of Portsmouth located within a mile of the city centre. Apparently it looks like anyother british city but it has some surprises that makes it different. The first thing is the Common a great space covered by grass paralell to the shore. Nice vibe in there: lots of instant BBQs, people playing anything you can think of, beer...

The other thing is the Southsea skatepark, originally public but it has been taking over by the locals and become a trust and charity organization. The local goverment didn't take care of it and hadn't been taking over by these guys, nobody knows what would have happened with it.

This a documentary about it (just in case you want to know more about it):

And then you get Bored of Southsea, the skate shop. They've got a great selection of brands, cool tees and sneakers but I just love its brand.
