“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you have any insight into this crazy situation we are having on our block in NoMa.
It looks like someone, likely a neighbor, is actively trying to get more rats on the block. As in not just being sloppy, but going out of their way to go into other peoples’ trash cans, rip open their garbage bags, and throw the garbage on the ground. (more…)

Lots of chatter from folks lamenting the sight of dog excrement around town.
My take:
This happens after every snow storm. Hell some despicable folks don’t pick up after their pets in any weather. I believe the dog crap is just more noticeable contrasting on the white snow.
