Ed. Note: In these days when some Chinese related stores/restaurants are having difficulty attracting customers due to fears over coronavirus – let’s not let this spiral out of control. It is never OK to call someone a “chink” just as it’s never ok to call anyone a racist slur. We need to be kinder to each other now more than ever. This is just a reminder that this is happening. I’m closing comments because I can anticipate and there is nothing to talk about. This is not OK.

“Dear PoPville,
Whenever my neighbor wants to walk their dogs, they just open up their fenced back yard and allow their dogs to roam freely down the alley behind our houses. The dogs frequently come into my yard and do their business. My home video cameras have captured this multiple times (13 to date). I have talked with them, written them two letters, and sent them a care package of a leash, two collars, and doggie bags, as seen in the attached photo. They keep refusing to leash their animals, and I keep ending up with messes in my backyard. (more…)
