by Mark McDermott Imagine a summery Sunday late afternoon in Manhattan Beach. You walk the winding path through Polliwog Park, the softening golden light anointing this idyllic scene with a just-lucky-to-be-here kind of feeling. Kids are playing on a sparkling new playground, shrieking with delight, and families are watching their dogs happily rumble through the new dog run. Ducks circle in the glistening little pond below. You smell the waft of food trucks as you approach the amphitheater.
