Da Chicken Coop
When I was a kid I visited Lemon Grove for activities like Octoberfest and they use to grow lemons here. They also had the big lemon. It’s a cool neighborhood symbol. My current neighborhood could use a symbol as it’s pretty boring. The lemon trees are gone now but I’m glad the big lemon is […]
