Description
Paved with brick and framed by shrubs, this spot honors a lieutenant once recognized by the president. The daily rhythm here matters: crews spend the morning clearing the previous day's debris, making lunchtime the ideal window to find it clean. Once swept, it offers plenty of seating under the trees for a brief pause from the surrounding rush.
