What I Saw In The Hood

Families. Dads with Moms with their young children on a Saturday afternoon. Strollers. Lots of them. Kids. Lots of them; the Mall's large centrally-located "playground" was filled with children playing. Also saw teenagers hanging out, thirty-somethings nesting, and professional people.

Outside the mall, a huge park, teeming with families and children playing. Oh yeah, down the road a'ways there were people selling... I don't know what... on the street and although the flats were in need of maintenance, the people I met were friendly and treated me like a lady.

They were a rainbow mix of minorities, both in race and cultures. The people appeared to be financially poor, but the faces were all happy on this beautiful Sunday afternoon.
