"I live here. The park has changed a lot in the past ten years, but its still my home. I love going on walks and meeting dogs of our neighborhood (lots of all kinds of dogs live in M.p.) with my daughter. She loves dogs Sad to see the school get torn down. But the new homes they built there look nice."
