7/19

though they look similar
there is a vast difference between the 2 communities
that these 2 sets of stairs are located in,

point of woods is a "gated community"
while anyone can enter from the beach
one is discouraged from doing so
and there are fences barring unwanted access inland
from the neighboring communities

when gathering garbage on the beach
i get a particular joy
from using their public garbage cans
to dispose of it
:)

and when i was little
our day camp used to play theirs
in swim meets & tennis meets
when these were held in point of woods,
i remember distinctly feeling like we didn't "belong"
