The “O” Avenue play gang
Published January 16, 2012 / by Steve Berentson
If there’s snow on the ground in Anacortes, you can pretty much bet this group of South Side adventurers will be outside slippin’ and slidin’ their way to another winter memory. I look forward to seeing the kids (plus a parent or two) come our way … but I also appreciate the fact that the door leading to a warm fireplace stands just a short walk away.
About Steve Berentson
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
