Arrival

About 4 of us came in this morning to the South Central Farm here in L.A. It was such an odd experience to be in the middle of south central LA and suddenly be in the midst of 15 acres of gardens. Everything under the sun is growing but the cactus are what makes the place famous. Ignored my everyone but the locals who know how to cook and prepare it, it appears to be the most prevalent crop around the garden. But, I have yet to walk every inch of this place.

Supposedly, the high amount of CO2 in the air (thanks to the amazing amount of cars in LA) has yielded a green explosion here in the heart of the most developed and paved city in the world. I was more amazed to step into the middle of the garden area and sit under a few trees where the air was fresher, cleaner and alive. This place truly is an oasis.

A bit more history of the farm in a few. In the meantime, trying to get a wireless network up and running on location here seems to be a real challenge.
