              <text>The Mall in London, which runs along the side of Saint James Park, was originally a playing field for King Charles II of England and his courtiers. They played pall-mall, a game similar to croquet. By the mid-1700s, it had become a tree-lined avenue where fashionable Londoners went to walk and socialize. This Mall, and others like it, helped inspire the design and name of the National Mall.</text>
