Ruben Salazar Park, East LA

Frayed net, sagging cord, no strap. Surface pitted, a chunk removed, like a single piece missing from a jigsaw puzzle. Nevertheless: joy. Ruben Salazar Park has a vivid community vibe, with people playing both outdoor and indoor basketball and middle-to-older age folks working out on the exercise equipment ringing the park along with a crown of palm trees.

From my diary

January 30, 2023

After playing I crossed the street to Antojitos Vicky and got a carne asada plate, mmmm-good with a generous heap of nopalito and green onion, washed down with a tankard of pineapple licuado. Sweet!
