Some high-school graduands

Bowring Park recently celebrated its hundredth anniversary, and it is

just as popular today for the commemoration of rites of passage as it

was in 1915. There was a long white limousine parked just outside

the frame when I took this picture, and there were a half-dozen other

well-dressed teenagers wandering around getting their pictures taken

by parents elsewhere in the park.



Pronounced "Boring Park" by most of us, it is anything but boring. It

is a nice example of a European-style urban park in a city that mostly

has large, square patches of grassy, treed lawns passing as parks.
