Its not easy being the "new guy" sometimes, but all of you made it a lot of fun!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large">When I opened the doors a year ago, I had one goal in mind. That was to stay true to skateboarding every way we can and do what we do with pride.  I think we've achieved that and will continue to into the future.  BLVD is a genuine skateshop owned and operated by genuine skateboarders. There is no other way.  Thanks for 2009, see you all in 2010!!</span></p><p><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large">Kevin Kelly -OWNER</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large">Read on to check out our year in review...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large">Dec.2008 - Opened our doors in </span><a href="http://blvdskateshop.com/resource/1/24"><span style="font-size: large">Kerrisdale!</span></a></p><p><span style="font-size: large">Jan.2009 - </span><a href="http://push.ca/blogs/scottysk/archive/2009/01/30/being-rad-is-pretty-rad.aspx"><span style="font-size: large">Movie nights begin!</span></a></p><p><span style="font-size: large">March 2009 - Website up!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large">April 2009 - </span><a href="http://www.concreteskateboarding.com/?p=661"><span style="font-size: large">Powell's "FUN" premier at our shop</span></a><span style="font-size: large">.
