Asphalt Anthropology: Current Mood, Peace

I live in Los Angeles, in the highly dense Hollywood neighborhood. The bedroom window of our apartment overlooks a city park and community center. I work from home and during the summer and after school the sounds of kids playing fills the air and really brightens my day. I missed those sounds when the center shut down due to Covid. Now that they are back their sounds of playing help set a delightful rhythm to my day. A few months ago, at the height of summer camps at the community center, something new happened. Starting at around 7am and for the next 4 hours or so, the constant sound of leaf blowing and weed whacking started. The hours-long racket from the machines was frustrating, but I was so happy to have the joyful sounds of the kids back I wrote off. <a href="https://medium.com/@Asphalt_Anthropology/asphalt-anthropology-current-mood-peace-786ae8f2c1e">Visit Now</a>
