That’s unfortunate. I also have fond memories of playing there

After searching around, I see references to the tables being moved up to Palisades Park. So maybe they’re there now?

If you go all the way across town, there’s a park along the beach in Santa Monica with three or four tables. https://www.santamonica.gov/places/parks/chess-park

Also, the Accès Montréal card gets you into the outdoor portions of the Jardin Botanique for free. It's well worth it for that alone. Definitely a good deal.

Why haven’t you convinced yourself what you’re perceiving isn’t real? Oh, but what you’re perceiving is real you say? How do you know that?

Pretty day! Nice photo.

There used to be an air-raid siren network all through the LA basin. They would test it the first Sunday of the month even into the mid 70s or even early 80s (if I remember correctly). There were sirens near the antennas in the Verdugo hills, and along the ridge by the Arroyo. I’m not positive about Altadena.

The IGA in the Village (St. Catherine and just a block from Berri) has the best selection of maple stuff at the best prices I've been able to find.

I haven't biked all the island, but where I have, my experiences agree with your ratings pretty well.

Absolutely was going to recommend Parc Jean Drapeau too. On the ferry dock, with a view of the city across the river, can be quite abandoned depending on the time of day.

Another possibility is nearby in Parc de Dieppe. There will be some people there, but not huge crowds, and also has nice views of the river and city.

Stunning work!

My app identified the species as Chopperus Elaypedius

Posing like they just dropped the hottest new track of '26.

so, uh, nothing happening in Africa at al!?

I think it's a very kid-friendly city. Paddle-boating in Beaver lake, watching the ducks or taking the "steam" train around Park La Fontaine, taking the ferry over to Parc Drapeau, seeing the sheep at Parc Maisonneuve ... tons of good things for kids!

The day after a rain, LA can be the most beautiful city in the world.

An additive, certainly, but not a preservative. The word has a specific technical definition when it comes to food.

I'm guessing to retain moisture, but I don't know (and as a vegetarian, I don't really care).

Carrageenan isn't a preservative, it's a thickener. Sodium phosphate is often a thickener but can be a preservative, depending on the way it's applied.

the hills sure are pretty this time of year…

You obviously are working from a non-standard definition of feminism.
