“Tucked under I-95 in Philadelphia exists a small beacon of anarchy hidden from the public’s eye. Unregulated from the city, FDR developed through an emergence of like-minded skaters dedicated to building their own oasis. What you see today is the result of 21 years of spontaneous order in a free environment. Every year a new piece of the ever-expanding puzzle falls into place. On the 4th of July, we celebrate our small slice of freedom in the only way we know how — skateboarding, punk rock, beer, and more fireworks than you could ever ask for.”
