I drove past it for years, but had never visited it until a few years ago. It is beautiful and has a significant amount of history attached...welcome to DDP!joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352563375310451846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106063507230010326.post-39859204812215643382013-04-20T02:15:15.171-07:002013-04-20T02:15:15.171-07:00I was born and raised in Downey for 32yrs.

Years ago I got curious and brought my little girls to visit it. For almost a year now we have gone to visit...my girls top request. More so than the park. They ask all the names, run free, and are careful to never step on as my 3yr old calls "headphones". We make sure to say hi and brings flowers or tangerines from my gpa's tree to our fave resident "Indian Joe". They take pics and blow him kisses. It wasn't until googling today that I was able to put a face to my girls "friend". Thank you so much! Absolutely delighted to see all Downey's history through your eyes. =) You've got a new reader who appreciates your moments in history very dearly.BrooklynWynterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12890374011272484493noreply@blogger.com
