The playground was still there and in good repair,
...Continued from yesterday: As my reunion didn't start until 1 pm, giving us several hours to kill, we opted to return to my old Somerton neighborhood to have a look at my elementary school, St. Christopher's, ...as well as old St. Christopher's Church, where Tom and I were married, which was no longer the church but now utilized as the parish hall. On a whim, I wanted to see if the playground where I spent at least part of every summer day after we moved to the New House in Somerton (See previous post) was still where it always was, on Kelvin Street behind St. Christopher's school and also behind Comely School, the public school at the corner of Byberry Road and Kelvin Street. The two schools and the playground formed three points of a geographic triangle, thus the playground was within walking distance for almost every school kid in Somerton. And walk there we all did. The playground was still there and in good repair, ...as well as the modern art mosaic on the office building, which I always loved and thought made our playground fancier than other playgrounds. And the field and woods behind St. Christopher's through which we used to walk to the playground was gone, having been replaced by streets and houses.
