Culture
The Hill is home to Reservoir Park, where summer festivals to commemorate music, culture, and the arts draw hundreds each year. Residents and visitors sit and relax on the grassy hill overlooking the Levitt Pavilion, an open air amphitheater, which hosts talent contests, "Jazz Under the Stars," movies, and "Shakespeare in the Park"-- all free events. Reservoir Park also has a huge playground, tennis and basketball courts, and the National Civil War Museum. Because of the wide variety of cultures that coexist, there are many small ethnic stores and restaurants that sell or serve traditional Caribbean, Latino, African, and Asian foods.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“The anorexic prefigures this culture in rather a poetic fashion by trying to keep it at bay. He refuses lack. He says: I lack nothing, therefore I shall not eat. With the overweight person, it is the opposite: he refuses fullness, repletion. He says, I lack everything, so I will eat anything at all. The anorexic staves off lack by emptiness, the overweight person staves off fullness by excess. Both are homeopathic final solutions, solutions by extermination.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“The aggregate of all knowledge has not yet become culture in us. Rather it would seem as if, with the progressive scientific penetration and dissection of reality, the foundations of our thinking grow ever more precarious and unstable.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“Nobody seriously questions the principle that it is the function of mass culture to maintain public morale, and certainly nobody in the mass audience objects to having his morale maintained.”
—Robert Warshow (1917–1955)
