    There appears to be another World Cup watch party in White Center.  Streets are closed on 16th between Roxbury and 100th, and on both Delridge and 17th between Roxbury and Cambridge.  Some community organizations and vendors with booths along those streets.  Several viewing screens are on 16th.

      That’s the Gather For Goals event at the top of the list above. We’re on our way back after covering the welcome speeches.
