The children of LaClede Town and LaClede Park don't have to go very far for amusement. There's a swimming pool nearby, any number of backyard wading pools and this playground where Mrs. Mary Bell Martinez pauses to help youngsters swing.
Youngsters who had waited for hours in the broiling sun yesterday made a dash for the water as soon as the gates were opened at Fairgrounds Swimming Pool.
Across the streets from the Circle Coffee House is another popular gathering place, the Coach & Four Pub. Here, at the end of a summer day, people come from many parts of the city to join residents of LaClede Town-LaClede Park community for cocktails at sidewalk tables.
