Where Is South Park?Well, it certainly is not here: |
 |
And these photos prove it:
 |
That is Avalon Boulevard on the right.
In 2002 the Bandstand was free of graffitti.
But this privately owned fence adjoining the park was not.
Below, old houses face a walkway called Park Front Walk.
All of the ornamental lamps were smashed.
(But see later news at bottom of this page.)
It is a place for the neighborhood.
There is a swimming pool that is packed in the summer.
This is the REAL South Park.
(But read how it was a hundred years ago.)
