I used to live close to it. They’re not shy in their political commentary! It’s a beautiful place and a vibrant part of the neighborhood. The Grand Lake is just on the other side of a small park in front of it.

Even though I know how absolutely despised this p.o.s. is by so many of us, it's still validating to see this "sign of the times."a Thank you for posting....
