Reader - park recommendation

"I used to climb in the ancient fig tree on this lot when I was a child coming back from Prestwood elementary after a coke & sundae at Vela's. I see a wild park here with more fig trees, apple trees. Perhaps a plum, with uncut grass & a dirt path running through for pedestrians weary or walking on pavement."

The Historic Neighbors of "Mission Square"




I believe that the neighborhood around this proposed development is very special. It is extremely historic with some old adobes, some 1890s+ cottages & houses and the Castagnasso Farm is an absolute gem! Whatever goes in that vacant lot at 165 East Spain (the proposed "Mission Square" location) should fit in visually (and environmentally) and not detract from the historic neighborhood. Maybe even be a visual contribution...

What would YOU like to see there?
