Shout out to the DPD yesterday afternoon. Sitting on my front porch mid to late afternoon with my growing large breed puppy, and was approached by 3 teens on bikes about lawn care service and dog walking. They met the description of the alleged perpetrators of several of the recent crimes, and DPD was there within 2 minutes. Felt completely safe and met new neighbors.

However, a little sad to say that hubs did this in his youth trying to honestly earn summer money, and was never questioned (different city, different state). I think we need a little balance here within the community with our expectations of our PD and the protections of everyone’s civil liberties. Our PD and FD professionals do an incredible job, but they have to walk a very fine line to protect all residents and foster our community.

Having cable doesn’t mean you have to watch those channels. There is no shortage of intelligent cable programming, like the Real Housewives of [insert city].

I grew up in Druid Hills where cars were not parked on the street unless someone was having a party. I hate having strangers’s cars parked in front of my house-but I am not entitled to that space. If this guy is allowed to do this, all he is doing is forcing people to park in front of other people’s homes. The guy is no hero. He is a bully.
