Around town with Jean: the back streets of Tent Village

April 19, 2023 by Blogfinger

Jean says, “The little paths between the rows of tents are quaint.
You walk down, and there’s the Great Auditorium in all her splendor.

“They soon will be occupied, and personal touches will embellish each tent.
It won’t be long now.”

 

RICKY NELSON: from the movie soundtrack of Pulp Fiction.  Tent Village is a lonesome town until the occupiers begin to show up on May 15.   Then it springs to life—it is a community within a community having its own rhythms and even its own customs. Kids love it there.

By June 1, it is  no longer a lonesome town.  —-PG
