Examples

“Below is the last⟳ photo I took of my old apartment in MacArthur Park⟳, a neighborhood whose name⟳ has been synonymous with danger for decades. From Chelsea Handler’s questionable inquiry about bodies in the park’s lake, made whilst buying pupusas from a street vendor on her Netflix special, to the “Gangs” header on its Wikipedia page, MacArthur Park⟳ has an infamous reputation both in pop culture and in Los Angeles. The name⟳ MacArthur Park⟳ refers both to its central park⟳ and the 2.72 mile radius surrounding it—a neighborhood also called Westlake that has a long and complicated history of overcrowding, gentrification, and displacement.”
