Garfield Park


You can see the date and time there of this shot taken at Garfield Park on Mission Drive in South Pasadena.  Had a lot of good memories here.  I was there tutoring a young boy from China, who came with his uncle.  The boy was smart and he really loved being in the United States.  I asked him why he liked the US so much and he said because it was so clean.  And that is true.  Compared to a lot of other countries, as well as compared the US's own past, the US is clean.  I don't know if it is cleaner than Vancouver, British Columbia.  That town, when I was there twice in 1984, was spectacularly clean.  Streets were remarkably clean. 

I miss the people I spent time here with.  They were great people when I knew them in their younger years.  I am sure they're great today.  It's just that my memory of them back then is so beautiful.
