Ready For Use

I think this is such a sweet park for residents in back of an apartment building, and on the alley.

Soccer/Fútbol

Whittier Park

Soccer is very big around here.
The other day a friend and I kicked a soccer ball a couple blocks down the alley to McDonalds, and along the way several different guys engaged with us. A little kid called out, "I play soccer." An older man gestured us to kick the ball to him, saying, "Here! Here!" Then at McDonald's, a manager showed us where his leg had been so badly injured playing fútbol he'd had to miss a couple weeks of work.
