Fond memories!

That pictures brings back lots of memories. I grew up just two blocks from that basketball court. I attended my elementary and some of my high school years at " El Colegio San Ramon ", which is if I'm not mistaken it's the oldest school in Nicaragua. It also served as the first University in the country. It's located adjacent to " La Catedral " which is the church where all boys and girls from " El San Ramon " attend church at least once a week. Central Park, more commonly known as " Parque Central " by the locals, is just half a block from that basketball court. I played a few pick up games there in my youth. Thanks so much for sharing that picture. It sure did bring a smile to my face.

Thanks for the offer. Not sure if some of you have heard or know of the band " Zona 21 "which takes its name after the prison/retention center ( insert whatever name you want here).It is also located a few blocks from this playground court. I remember going into " La 21 " as we often referred to it, to play and mess around.
