AUSTIN, Texas — Chuba Hubbard loved his trips to Lilac Terrace.
The family would leave its modest home on Rainbow Crescent and drive north a few kilometers through the Canadian hamlet of Sherwood Park to Grandpa’s house.
Living between Lilac Terrace and Rainbow Crescent has the sound of a life picked ripe from the vine of a nursery rhyme.
But like most of us, not all of Chuba Hubbard’s young life leapt from the pages of a Little Golden Book.
Playing in front of the houses on Lilac Terrace is where 9-year-old Chuba Hubbard met friends who taught him football.
