About Cal Anderson Park...

I love Cal Anderson Park and the way it reflects and collects the neighborhood character. (And characters.)  I moved to Capitol Hill about 2 years ago so I wasn't around for it's tranformation from Lincoln Resevoir and didn't realize the history of the site, the significance of the name, or what Teletubby Hill is actually made of.  (Hint:: not dead teletubbies.)  The Adventure School fills in my knowledge gap with historical pictures and a short informative account of the park, then and now.

Create your own Cal Anderson Park memories this Saturday at the Independence Day Community Picnic.  Music, root beer tasting, food, games, and more: check the flyer for details on all the activities.

Think you have a chance to win the Pet - Human Look-Alike Contest?  Pics or it didn't happen.

... in this weather, all is good
Get out of the house, into the park ... does that sound like a chant or a rant from friends?

Cal Anderson is a gem of a place, the 4th of July celebration will be community and not at all pretentious, go with your own basket of food, drink, and blocker, summer skimpy garb and enjoy.

Doing cold home fried chicken and canned beans re cooked with better seasoning, carrots, celery, dried fruit, banannas and tons of fluids.

Look for the pretty male curls, reddish henna/coffee and long, most wonderful hair in the city!!
