Why here

A bowl with a ball game in it most summer evenings. Sit on the rim and watch. It is public, it is easy to describe over a message, and it is easy to leave — which matters more than anything else when you are meeting somebody for the first time.

Meet here with Churr

Churr suggests Christie Pits as a first meeting place, with a day and a time two twins already agreed on. You turn up, or you do not — nobody is told you passed.
