I asked Ledger yesterday while we were with the goats yesterday if you wanted to get a Peach 🍑 Nehi and he said yes with a big smile. I then found out from his momma Auntie Tara sends them. Well when my oldest kids were little it was our treat to go get a Peach Nehi from the French fry store, or William Umphlett’s or a Jungle Juice from Sextons. We also got a cookie with pink frosting and hard cheese. I can still remember all of drinking their Peach Nehi’s. So I thought these boys would enjoy 😉 one too. Did they everrrr!!! We walked around the Millpond while enjoying that sweet nectar. The French fry store only had peach fantas but it was all good!! I loved seeing Ledgers lips so peachy. #peachfanta #fanta #millpondstatepark #merchantsmillpondstatepark #merchantsmillpond #nc #kip #kidsinthepark #funwithgrandkids #goodtimes @teamrhode7314 #stampmom9 they got to send leaves 🍁 as little boats and watch them float in the pond.

小中高が一緒、部活も一緒、東京にも17年いた地元の友人が、旦那さんの転勤で福岡に帰ることになり、なんだかとても淋しい。 そんなに頻繁に会っていたわけではないし、会う時は同じような地元の友達数人とで、大抵は馬鹿話をしてゲラゲラ笑ってバイバイするだけなんだけど、それでもやっぱり地元の友達はなんか特別で、帰っちゃうんだなあとなんだかしんみり。 彼女が短大卒業後に博多で仕事をしていた時は、自分が学生なのをいいことに休みになると帰省途中に寄り道して博多の家に泊まりに行き（今思えば翌日仕事なのによく泊めてくれてたなあ）、くちゃべって飲んでまたくっちゃべって、だいたい寝不足で実家に帰っていたっけなあ。その時の家の間取りとか、置いてあった食器棚とか今でもよく憶えてる。(なぜかギターがあった時も）それはやたら楽しかった学生時代と九州で過ごしていた日の思い出のひとつなんだと思う。 そして福岡に帰れる友達がちょっぴり羨ましく思えたり。 春、別れの次は出会いがあるといいな。 （写真は、送別会しようと集まった面々とそのちびっこ達。どうしても噴水池の底が気になって仕方ない様子。） #hibiyapark #hibiya #kids #fountain #kidsinthepark (日比谷公園 Hibiya Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu8zLTDhU9V/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6e7myfaiq7ws

An afternoon around kids & water by Stéphanie Vé

This afternoon, I decided to read Howard Zinn’s People’s History of the United States in the Parc de l’Estre. Even though kids come from multiple backgrounds, they manage to play together and understand each other. While I was absorbing Zinn’s perspective on colonization, I exuded energy from the kids running around and playing with water.

Below you can hear the kids playing (original: https://archive.org/details/2017.07.1817.4201)

I truly enjoy being at Parc-Extension, Montréal. People are chatting and laughing everywhere and at all times. Near from Station de métro Parc, this little, enclaved (my autocorrect asks me to write “enslaved” ), neighborhood is alive (social), multigenerational and multi ethnic.

Among the first settlers (remember this place is settled by the Indigenous peoples’ relations to ad memoriam), there was us, Les Québécois (Rioux 1974). Then we left for the suburbs to reach the American Dream, for better living conditions and to have more space. My family who is from Centre Sud did the same and moved to Châteauguay Station in the 1970′s.

Then, the Greeks and the Portugueses got in and pimped the place with their colorful flowers, their churches, restaurants, and bakeries. Now their youth are moving to places like Laval. Whereas the grand-fathers stay. But you can still feel their vibe around while hearing their languages or smelling their food. At the corner of de L’épée and Jean-Talon, you can admire the beautiful and glorious Athena.

Popularly called “Bombay Land”, Parc-Ex is majorly inhabited by South West Asians. You probably noticed a colorful picture I posted the other day where Indian women were traditionally dressed while waiting to enter a majestic temple. They mostly set Parc-Ex’s vibe, since they invest time in building relationships with their neighbors (in parks, at street corners, on their balcony, etc.), maintain gardens where no one would have thought of, lead the food sector with their restaurants, do henna tattoos. I was surprised, as a prejudicial Québécoise, that their children speak clear French.

And now, there is a slow gentrification process going on: Les Québécois and their offspring are coming back. As my friend Django observed and shared with me, the buildings are deteriorating and people seek better living conditions, so they move out. Therefore, renting is still cheap and buying a house too. New urban professionals, who see how Villeray (east to Parc-Ex) and Mile-End (south) turned out, are "visionary" enough to move here. Université de Montréal is also building a new campus wing.

I don’t know if Parc-Ext will keep these different migrating waves of settlers or if it will clear some of them away like gentrification did elsewhere.

What are your thoughts? Do you have more data?
