Walk to Wonderland

walking_route_25_oct_08My route for today - 4.1 mi.

The neighborhood to the west of Wonderland Park has some interesting street names - Cheshire Rd, Mad Hatter Lane, etc. I thought there could be some cool houses and gardens in that area to explore.

In reality, the neighborhood was kind of run down and sad. Nothing much pretty for me to take pictures of.


P1100509Pretty Pink and Peach Rose - SW 22nd St

This was my longest walk so far, but I have the fewest pictures from it. I walked though several apartment complexes and neighborhoods where the streets were torn up by road construction.

The neighborhoods east of Hall are significantly more run-down than the ones west of Hall.

P1100514Salmon colored Rose - further east on SW 22nd St

The Stuhr Center (where I stopped about 3/4 of the way through my walk) is apparently a Recreation Center for senior citizens. I stopped by there to use the toilet and the water fountain and found lots of older folks playing bingo.


P1100518Fading Black Eyed Susans - SW 22nd St

Scheffler Park is nice enough. Mostly ball fields and a few picnic areas. There were a bunch of young kids' teams playing soccer today.
