Why couldn’t they just put it in their BACKYARD?

FWIW, it is an eyesore.

We used to build these forts as kids, but we didn’t build them in the front yard? We built them on empty lots and backyards.

He should have built it in the back yard.

The obvious choice is to convert it to a homeless camp.
Then the ACLU will pay his legal bills to fight the city.

Tell the city that it is a sustaneability project to teach the kids how to live without electricity. Dip the cardboard in epoxy resin.

Looks like recycling at its finest, “repurposing” junk that would have been added to some landfill. Where are the libs when you need them?

I rarely run against the flow but pile of card board is a total nuisance. What if there are 30 mph winds or RAIN? Give me a break. Go buy a real fort for your BACK yard or take your kids to jump and jive but get that crap out of sight!!!

These kids have awesome parents. Let them play for 14 days, then after a few weeks build a new one. LOL

When I was a kid, some of the neighborhood kids and I would get a cardboard refrigerator box(the appliance store was only going to throw it away anyway) and roll down hills inside of them. Good times.

Yeah for this dad and for building something with his children. This family would be right at home in our neighborhood where kids are always building something and mostly out of odds and ends. These children’s memories of their dad doing something constructive with them will last a whole lot longer than any cardboard fort.

Perhaps if other neighborhoods had activities like this going on with fathers we’d have less Ferguson’s.

> One has reached out to the rest of Ogden, and asked residents to build their own forts in their front yards.

That'll be interesting. I tend to agree with those commenting that it should have been in the back yard, but hey, what's a little civil disobedience between neighbors?

It reminds me of the book I loved reading to my kids and grandson more than any other, Cristina Katerina and the Box.

He should’ve put it in the backyard, especially since his children are only 2 and 3 years of age and shouldn’t be playing by the road. However, this didn’t rate anything but a warning.
