Hidden by the streets and buildings surrounding it, the 3,900-square foot parcel of land directly behind the Check It buildings at 1918, 1920 and 1922 Martin Luther King Jr.
Ave., S.E., has been used by local neighborhood businesses and community groups as a vegetable garden, home to honey producing beehives, a space for outdoor concerts on a small wooden stage, and a popular community meeting space with tables where families share meals.
