In many ways, Labor also acts as a welcome post to skaters visiting the city from around the world, who might seek a home away from home amongst like-minded people or who are simply looking to explore a new city through skating. “People come through all the time, check in, and meet up here. Anywhere you go in the world, there’s a chance you go to the skateshop and run into someone you might have a mutual friend with or something.

There’s some aspect of community and the kids are holding that all together.”
