Joe Biden may hit another bump on his way to getting on a state’s presidential ballot, with Alabama’s top elections official asserting Tuesday that the president and vice president will miss the deadline to be certified as nominees in the state come November given the timing of the Democratic National Convention.
When I was a kid at least, the kind of play you do in a park, we’d do in the yard. Playing tag, playing with toys, swings, etc. Maybe that’s not the case anymore, and maybe the kids are using it. I would’ve preferred a football field back then, because the school had its gates locked over the weekend.
the problem with football fields- or any kind of sport’s pitch, for that matter- is that they tend to be dominated and “reserved” for leagues and stuff. which, maybe, is important. but it’s unlikely the people next door get to use it. At least, here. ( I remember the last time I tried to play tennis. the courts were reserved by private instructors until they turned the lights off. there was literally no time from friday night through sunday evening that wasn’t booked solid. and there was zero way to get your name on the reservation cycle without being a coach.)
without knowing the circumstances behind it, I’m going to shrug and move on.
I dunno. I just looked at it on street view… it seems a decent playground at least.
It’s empty, so, maybe you’re right, but its not straight up awful like some of the places I’ve seen.

This is a village. If there are leagues, they’re amateur leagues. Worst case scenario you can’t play on one day, but you can play probably the next.
