Meridian Hill Park

Walking through Meridian Hill Park, I come to the chill zone and leave everything at the entrance to the park.  Here you lose your self and relax, Stroll the paths, lay in the grass.  This is the city's park and I think We should start using the park as a meeting place once again.  I'd like to see concerts held in the park again.  More and more you see families!  It's awesome how much this city has changed in the last 12 years!  Take a look at some of these photos of now and then from Meridian Hill Park.

Meridian Hill Park around it's opening, you can still see the grass hasn't grown alot and the trees are still small.  If you notice there are large sculptures it looks like above where the fountain starts!  What happened to those??

I would really like to see concerts or social events held in the park again. pic is from 1940

This sphere was here at one time!  What happened?

The bush's are over grown and no sphere!
