The Mounds
A large mound next to a football (soccer) field. In between 230 st. and 230 pl., behind the school. Arivals on 22L can be seen from this location, and the light is especally nice during the late evening hours. Locals are typically friendly and on some days you might even enjoy a soccer match while spotting. Be careful of tics.
