Objective Paragraph: There are murals painted all around the Centro. Inside, a huge mural,
La Dualidad, dominates the space. A wooden floor a little ways away serves as a place for dancers to practice. A room to the left of the entrance is decorated with paintings of odd looking creatures.
For years, this building served as water storage for Balboa Park. But one day the city decided that it could be used to more effect in other ways - and eventually it became what it is today.

Subjective Paragraph: This place represents a lot for the community. La Dualidad, the center's crown jewel, weaves a tale of suffering and pain, life and love, and happiness. Just like a bad experience, the left side of the mural, which represents pain and suffering, gradually fades into the right side, with happiness and love.
Objective Paragraph: Chicano Park is a huge place where multiple highways connect. Originally this place was the site for a community, but they were displaced and the highways were built. After the building of the roads, the remaining land was to be made into a law enforcement building, however the remaining inhabitants of the community formed a human chain in front of the bulldozers, stopping them from further damaging their community. After a while, the community was able to make it a park. Today, a playground, park benches and grass stand testament to the brave neighborhood who stood together for what they believed in. Murals decorate the previously unadorned arches, and a mall is already being built nearby.
Subjective Paragraph: Chicano Park is a positive space, an expansive park where you can get peace and quiet. The murals there represent the community's culture, beliefs and history. The park feels very peaceful.
