Honestly, I wouldn't let my kids wander down there now. I don't like wandering around Kensington on off hours now.

The best part is the memories. I remember as kids, this homeless guy stopped us one time; told us his name was Rainbow Man. Said he invented the internet, and than his initials were on each tree in the original Call of Duty game. He also owned the limousine in the Pretty Woman movie. Then he told us to wait there, he had to go withdraw $8,000 from the bank machine. He never came back.
