It was not the Fourth of July. But it was sunny, and all of the neighborhood around Mission High School was in Dolores Park. Well, maybe not all, but a really good statistical sampling representing the major types of subcultures and social groups of the Castro-Mission area. And puppies.
People were playing every lawn game imaginable, except maybe jarts - a bad idea with so many puppies playing fetch and kids running around. The crowd kept abandoning the creeping shadows in favor of the sunny spots as the afternoon went on, and people were remarkably dedicated to staying out as long as they could, despite the strong chilly winds. I even saw a few folks in shorts. For the neighborhood I was in, this is one of the best spots to people-watch. It's certainly more fun than the BART stop at 16th and Mission where folks can get a little rowdy sometimes. And it has lots of puppies.
