I love visiting parks in little towns. This particular view comes from Riverside Park in my hometown of Salida. This will date me, but i remember when the river was just a natural river without a cool calm section and a play hole. The sidewalk wasn't there, but there was a short, concrete wall. There is a stage there now, but it used to be a simple, elevated seating platform above the river. That was one of my first memories of this town, pre-resort era of course. A park says a lot about it's town.
