#California on the other hand only sustains grass for the wealthy people who are above drought restrictions lmao

Of all the things to miss from the burgh, grass (literal) seems silly, but like working at carne*gie mell*n we had this GIANT field right behind the school called schenley park, and at the first sign of spring when the temperature finally hit above 60, you could cut through porter hall and climb the back of the hill, and that field was at the perfect angle for lying down in the soft grass and watching the oakland skyline, like a natural ampitheater. \o/ (it was also always slightly weird to think that in my grandpa's day that skyline would have been so polluted with steel industry that you couldn't SEE it)

The summer after i graduated - 2011 - some random citizen installed a wooden swing in the biggest tree at the edge of the hill, and that was the BEST until the city took it down probably for liability reasons :/ but every day for like months after work i would go sit on that swing till the sun went down.
