Walked past my old elementary school yesterday and something felt off

I was driving through my old neighborhood in Cleveland and decided to pull over by Jefferson Elementary. The playground was gone, just a flat patch of grass now. No monkey bars or that old rusty slide we used to fight over. Made me wonder if they took out all the playgrounds on purpose to stop kids from gathering. Has anyone else noticed schools removing stuff like that over the years?

Wait they just tore out the whole playground, @harperschmidt, that's wild.

Nah, they're just updating stuff. Kids don't use playgrounds like we did, times change.
