Snug Harbor is so amazing. I mean really. Where else do you find a cultural center like that? I am so grateful that they exist. It really makes SI an amazing place year-round.
When will this be going on until? Is it only for kids?
Amazing interview. I also grew up on Pokemon. Amazing how Mr. Piniella has brought his love for Pokemon to the real world to make real change.
