HISTORICAL FICTION ENTRY

 

      Before Liberty Station was here, the park used to be a place for Navy sailors to march. It was known as the Grinder where Navy graduations and lots of marching practice took place. Back then there were no trees or grass. I can imagine all that gray vast concrete. It’s likely that there would be three commanders and lots of sailors having to train and train and march and march under the hot sun. All that marching had to be tiring. The next day their feet would be in such pain from all that marching. Being a navy sailor must have been hard work.
