A patch on history

Looky, looky what I found just a couple of blocks from where I live:


It’s a micro-park honoring Grace Hopper, a pioneer in computer programming. It’s basically a patch of lawn and trees in front of RiverHouse apartments, which is apparently where Hopper lived late in life.

It’s nice to think that I might be walking paths that she did back in the day; a little connection with a kick-ass, brilliant woman, right here in the neighborhood.
