JJ and AW

Just as Jane Jacobs would expect, these adolescents at Alhambra High School in the city of Alhambra (CA) are "loitering with others, sizing people up, flirting, talking, pushing, [and possibly] shoving" (86) during the lunch hour. Most students at the high school socialize during break seven if there is enough time to play some kind of sport. According to Jacobs, at least this socializing isn't anything illegal. Or is it?

I believe that this picture is really good because the buildings both create a center area for hanging out, and their building up rather than outward. So it depicts a few key ideas here.
