Of course, none of this would make sense reading on a computer screen and would also come off as arrogant, and we don\u2019t want that. All this to say, though, that I\u2019ve found some pretty fun things to do here. A handful of fellows and I joined the citywide soccer league as part of the Lafayette Park squad.
