I took this picture at least two years ago and promptly forgot about it. That is, until I walked out of over winter break and saw the same thing. True, I don't stop for coffee very often. But with the number of businesses and restaurants on Park Street, not to mention the nearby high school and movie theater, it made me wonder if the bins are like this more often than not.
A Bin in Need of Another Bin?

Or we could wait until just watching them isn't enough of a thrill...

Fine, call the non-emergency number, but call. I strongly disagree with the above. I think calling…Read More the couples "exhibitionists" is totally unfair. What they're doing is reasonably normal; what he's doing is, well...
At the risk of making a possibly extreme comparison, this is how "Son of Sam" started; first he stalked couples making out in the back seats of their cars, then he started shooting them. Someone needs to talk to this guy. Someone with a badge.

Also, I don't think it is a matter for the authorities anyway. I'm not so sure who would be at fault…Read More here, the exhibitionist, or the peeper.

I think this headline is unfairly worded. I think Webster St. is, for example, substantially…Read More "cleaner" (whatever that means) than it was, say, fifteen or twenty years ago. We need to give credit for that.
What Gavin would seem to be looking for might, I aver, be more appropriately called "gentrification", a trend that has its unfortunate side, but does bring in the Pasta Pomodoros and the Jamba Juices.
Actually, I would expect to see stores like that more at soon-to-be-Alameda Landing, but perhaps that's another discussion.

Found!!! He followed me into my downstairs neighbor's house. I went to borrow some eggs. My neighbor…Read More was at work. I didn't know he followed me in, didn't see or hear him, got the eggs and left. I called that brat for over three hours. He raided my neighbor's garbage can and a bachelor nap on his sofa! Yay. I'm glad he's home and safe. Thank you everyone.

Good point, Gevin! Forgot about the dog park!! Recently a woman with a big, off-leash Rott stood…Read More by and watched him take a huge dump at the water's edge, then she continued on her way without cleaning it up. The park police got here in time and paid her a visit, and she was none to happy about that...made my day. Unfortunately, a family with 2 little kiddos set up their blanket right in front of the Rottie's toilet spot shortly after she walked away, and I'm sure the kids were all over it. The no-dogs allowed ruling was probably inspired, at least in part, by irresponsible pet owners like her.

Especially since there is a special DOG PARK just for your little Poopsie to play too!

I would say it's the school's responsibility, but it all starts at home.
How you are raised, how…Read More you act, and how children around you watch how you act. If you do something wrong, and a child see's it, they may think it's okay to do it since they saw a grown up do it.

Thanks for the info about your experience. I'm starting to hear the same story from about 7 people…Read More now and I'm sure there are more. Store has been closed all week. Still no sign on the door. At a loss as to what to do to find out what's going on or what to do next.

Good luck with that. I stopped patronizing them a year ago after some shifty practices with my high…Read More end items: wouldn't give me a receipt and then my items sat untagged for three weeks. Completely missed the xmas shopping season.

It is really dangerous coming out of the dog park/tennis court parking lot. We never try to turn…Read More left coming out of it, always right - and even then you have to be super careful because cars just come speeding down the street.
