“Dear PoPville,
I was walking near the Zoo Loop Trail yesterday at 5:45pm, and the gates on both ends were wide open, with the trail getting plenty of use. Were the hours quietly extended” or did they just forget to close it?
Update from a reader:
“The trail is open until 7pm during the zoo’s summer hours. They are able to keep the trail area staffed and open for an hour after they close according to the zoo’s Director.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

A passenger of that ride share then ‘doored’ me (flung his door open without looking and hit me) as I was going by. (more…)
