china got a lot of things right? like lying for weeks. unbelievable.
i normally don't bike on the south end...i normally go past the skater park and that playground i've seen plenty of people using that park over the last few weeks but i biked past the pond by king walk and there were signs and then the park a few blocks south of happy harrys had a sign and like all good nodaks both of those parks were 100% empty
is ours a rhino and theirs a rhido? on my bike ride on saturday night i noticed signs up at a few playgrounds around town saying they were closed? wtf?
there was a group of about 12 walking down behind the toasted frog...wouldn't say all of them looked homeless but the few i saw face to fact while biking by looking high or drunk...one guy on the corner with the sign gave up after a bit and was walking back to town square park where the other half dozen were sitting
the homeless people downtown are outnumbering cars parked on demers...quite a few tonight with one man on the corner of 3rd and demers holding a sign asking for help.
biked thru campus the other day...can't tell if they will be traffic stop lights on univeristy or if they will just be flashing lights for pedestrians to cross university...looks to be quite a few between the union and the coulee (they are covered with bags and non-functioning which is why i can't tell what they are)
thats fine but why should darnell who is 35 and owns his own barber shop(s) and is 6'0 175lbs and walks an hour every day of the week not be able to give a haircut to a customer because darrell who is 48 and 5'8 275lbs and watches romcoms everynight after work is "at risk"
is the death of a 90 plus year old from any ailment worthy of breaking news on the the heraldo webpage anymore...is it time to report the mosquito trap count yet?
lots of rich people in la holed up in their mcmansions that don't need to get tested, lots of homeless people in la holed up in their cardboard boxes that don't want to be tested, and a few people in the middle.
just a thought but now that it's warmer out should grand forks close all the north/south streets downtown and put tons of park bench (socially distantly enough tho) in the streets and allow restaurants to serve food and drink outside? close kittson for urban stampede and rhombus pizza/brewery? bonzers could use the alley behind their building? or make the city square park one large open air dining area. just a thought
