West Seattle 4th of July: High Point party

hpbarbecue.jpg

A party’s under way celebrating the official opening of High Point’s Commons Park; we went up the knoll on its southwest side for these views that show how sweeping the park is:

The mini-amphitheater on the south side of the knoll had live entertainment – we were there for the end of a jazz combo and the start of these young performers:

Commons Park is most easily reached from Graham, at 31st (map).

    I am considering going down to the park and strangling the deaf sound man with his board cables a little later on. I am nearly two long blocks away (1800 ft)and it is driving me nuts. Should I call the cops instead? There is no reason that I should be able to hear bad rap, cheesy jazz and gospel screeching from inside my house.

    hmmm either someone beat me to it or the politicians have started their speeches…. It has been turned down for now.

    You should have joined us in the park, Ken. We were all having a lot of fun. Oh, and all of that screeching you were complaining about? Those were community members who decided to come out, get involved and have fun with their neighbors.

Sorry, comment time is over.
