Community Chess

This odd spot of green space has two chess/checker tables that are ready for outdoor use (cement tables), a strange artistic metal couch, and paintings along the fences. It is quite odd. The neighborhood is in flux, a strange leaving of some of the depressed area that it once was, and then an incoming of gentrification, and I think this corner is representative of the meeting of the two extremes. It is right next to a school, and near a tattoo parlor and a co-op for a grocery, and near several bars, taverns and hipster restaurants.I'm not sure its worth more than just a stop to look, but it is interesting with the odd doll parts hanging from the tree. Make of it what you will. There are no restrooms, but I am sure people drunk from the nearby bars have urinated in the park.
