Walking the dog on the OG boards, screeching down the handicapped ramp, and riding cock horses in the Grove.

In my day “walking the dog” was a yoyo trick which I never mastered.  Growing up in  apartments, we never had a dog. My mom was afraid of them, and picking up after your dog was unheard of. My brother and I had a parakeet. who didn’t require walking or poop bags.

As we noted recently, the dog population in OG has increased substantially with an emphasis on bull dogs and tiny rat-size creatures who bark a lot.

The DPW worker who showed up today to place a fresh pile of biodegradable bags at Firemen’s Park agreed about the increased dog population. “There are a ton of them,”  he said.

 

 

And,  little boys on bikes love that ramp by the Laingdon (north of the pavilion.)   Noah raced down the hill, and his dad had to carry the bike up the hill.  We need something like a ski lift over there.

 

We should allow cock horses on our boards now that the crowds are gone.
