That little red wagon reminds me of the similar wagons we had in my nursery school yard back about 1952. We'd get on them with one knee in the wagon, and our hands controlling the handle in front, and we'd zip ourselves along with our other foot on the ground, more or less like a scooter. We really clipped along! I'll bet that's what that wagon was use for, (as opposed to being pulled with something in it).

I lived in Greenbelt from 1948 to 1951 (14x Hillside Rd). It was the most walkable and safe environment you could ask for. But it was also segregated...no African-Americans allowed. Had they been permitted to live there when I did, it still would have been a wonderful place to live, and I am sure they would have been welcomed. After all, in 1948, Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby were already playing in the Major Leagues and Truman had already integrated the armed forces.

I agree with Sugapea. My husband and I both graduated from the University of Maryland in 2005 (College Park is just down the street from Greenbelt). He had 3 locked bikes stolen before he just gave up.

A bit down at the heels today, but still a very pleasant place. Opponents of government "interference" in relentless growth should have a look at Greenbelt and then another local community like Bladensburg or Laurel.

Today, kids only come to school by S.U.V.

Sad.

Wish the kids now days knew the joy of coming out after school and finding your "unlocked" bike still standing exactly were you left it, unmolested.
