What do you expect from people coming to live in a city from the middle of no-damned where?

I’m an Urban Newbie in the City Market and loving it! Moved from Waldo and brought my “common sense” with me! (go figure). I was hip to (and grateful for) bags and waste can from the Trolley Trail (I carried a grocery bags just in case there were no bags). This being said, even as a Newbie, I have two gripes… One, I pick up my BIG dog’s poop! Do “little dog” people not get that think their little dog’s poop is really shit? Two, I’m totally astounded when I see a pile one foot or less from the “receptable”, I mean, “receptacle”. That’s just lazy on soooo many levels…

BTW, the new brick-like crosswalks are another hint to these new people. Oh, and ALWAYS use your turn signal so pedestrians, not just drivers, know what you intend to do.

Feel free to harass me at my booth in Old OP Day. Secret Freedom will be somewhere along the downtown OP strip… 10am-3pm Sat.

Bite the dog.

It takes a village.

We are you.

You are us.

Are you cognizant?

When I lived on Washington in Quality Hill, my wife and I always complained about the parallel parking on Saturday night and Sundays. Seemed like the Mass-attenders at the Cathedral really struggled with proper car placement. We decided that all those JOCO cars were used to large parking lots.

i did notice that for a long while, though, that dog bag dispenser was empty. does anybody know who keeps track of those sort of things? …the condo building owners? …the city? it’s a great idea; i hope they keep it up and install others around downtown (and maybe midtown!) as well…

There’s even a dog bag dispenser and waste receptable right at 10th & Baltimore. You’d think that would be a hint. (The one in the City Market has helped considerably.)
