Heard about the strudel at East Shore Park?
If you peruse the city’s website, you may have.
Although you might not have understood it. Unless you speak German. Or can translate programmer dummy text, filler copy that web designers insert during layout of a new site.
The web page describing the amenities for the park offers this description: Thinken bar die strudel verboten kaboodle wunderbar verboten mitten. Haben zur footzerstompen floppern spitzen footzerstompen footzerstompen cuckoo gewerkin poopsie uber rubberneckin mitz stoppern dorkin.

Good luck if you want to find the address, though. It’s listed as “xxxx.”
The strudel, and the xxxx address, also happen to describe Kimberly Fields and the city’s other fields, according to the website.

“Thank you for bringing us to our attention,” said parks chief Rebecca Bombero. “The city has undertaken updating the website. It hasn’t been updated in many years. We are working toward a new user-friendly site.”
