Because the family, including Aloisa, 15, second from left, Leontine, 12, and Rita has been sheltering in place for months, a trip to Rita’s favorite places from her college days and visit to Forest Park to eat it was the appropriate outing. “It’s nice to be out. It’s nice to have someone else cook the food,” Rita said. Photo by Christian Gooden, [email protected]
