People We Meet: Ted Barrow says S.F. is a skateboarder's Athens

Behind Barrow on the plaza stand two massive cubes, carpeted with astroturf and surrounded with high plexiglass walls - temporary installations where, for a minimum entry fee of $30, visitors can play padel, a racquet-based sport that touts itself as "easy to pick up like pickleball, dynamic like squash, and athletic like tennis." Barrow ends the tour on an urgent, if solemn note: now that plans are well underway to redevelop this plaza, San Francisco risks losing a part of its history.
