speaking only for myself, of course, but lack of education is not the reason why i (hypothetically, i don’t break laws #NSA) cross the street without respecting the authority and wisdom of the colored light bulbs.

I agree, Memorial is horrible. I used to live within eyeshot of Memorial Drive. So many times I would see people jaywalk, instead of using the crosswalk. Cars tend to drive fast on Memorial, and there are A LOT of accidents near Rupert/Memorial. It would amaze me when people would jaywalk while pushing a stroller or with small kids in tow!

Maybe we could work a competition into beer fest this year. I know I always walk with more gusto after visiting Brick Store or Square Pub.

Memorial and Columbia is the WORST! People routinely run out in front of my car at the Burger King and the Taco Bell. There is a crosswalk not but 30 feet away in both cases and they choose to weave through moving cars. No concept of self-preservation at all.

that i’m usually twirling a baton and have a penchant for sparkly outfits probably doesn’t hurt either.
