As a history buff, I was really excited to visit this little triangle! The whole area around it has a vibrant energy, and it felt great to be standing at a point that has such an interesting backstory. There were a few tourists around, but that only added to the bustling atmosphere. I spent a good hour here just soaking it all in and chatting with other visitors about our discoveries. I do feel like there could be more informational signage around to help explain the significance to newcomers, as some people were confused about why it was important. Regardless, it’s a lovely spot that captures the essence of the city. I left feeling inspired and more connected to the local history.
