Walking home from the subway today, I tried out the newly expanded
and repaved the walk to the Rivercross Lawn. 
Having a new wide angle visit ot the river, the wonderful Kwanzan cherry trees and even some rose bushes.

All of this had been hidden behind a hedge for years and now are in full view.

The steps are repaired and no need to sidestep puddles on the path.

No squeezing past other pedestrians

Hopefully “soon” Eleanor’s Pier will be repaired and the sitting area restored.)

The Kwansan Trees are fully visible now

The commemorative plaque is now visible

The Island Organizations celebrated historic events, thanks Lynne Shinozaki

The Ecuadorian Visitors
Were at the Kiosk Yesterday
Their Team Won Their Match Yesterday!!
