After doing some grocery shopping on a sunny Saturday afternoon, I sat down in Athens Square Park in Astoria. It is a common resting point for shoppers in the neighborhood. I sat on the bench, enjoying the unseasonably warm weather, and watched a group of boys with a soccer ball. There were about 10 of them, middle school aged, and most wore soccer attire. They yelled loudly and excitedly, in Arabic, I would guess. Occasional insertion of English place names, such as \"Astoria Park\" indicated that they might have been arguing about whether to play a game of soccer in Athens Square or move on to another location. (Technically, soccer playing in Athens Square is against the rules, but rarely is there a parks worker to enforce it.) A little blond boy around three kicked his own soccer ball around the group of big boys.
