thanks to everyone that came out Sunday at 2pm and picked up trash, cig butts, broken glass and bottle caps. Actions, not words….

Anyone know the schedule for the unusual games that get played on the tennis court? I’m talking about dodgeball and bicycle polo. Are there more?

Oh, and about the trash. Yeah, pick up your trash. Leave no trace. No MOOP.

And about the people who wait in line for the bathroom forever… We could use some troughs for the guys. And I don’t know what makes a women’s bathroom more efficient.

Sunshine FTW!

unless you live near the park, you are just visiting, no matter if you riding in, taking BART, driving from Marin to see the symphony,or walking from 20th and Folsom. 95% of visitors are great, 5% are assholes, the problem is that now there are 5X more assholes in the park than there were 5 years ago

Respect is a two-way street and proper manners includes not making sweeping generalizations or smug and self-satisfied pronouncements. It means dealing with other people as people, not caricatures drawn from prejudice. It also means having the humility to realize that moral authority does not automatically accompany sedentism.

And I say this as somebody who’s been wandering around the streets of the mission since I was a child.

Glad to hear that people generally agreed that trash scattered in the park is bad. Come on, people, there’s a giant floating garbage patch in the middle of the Pacific, and we’re on a coast which feeds it. Though most of that might just come from Capp Street.

Its called manners.

People who move to SF and leave their manners (if they ever had any) behind are obnoxious, and all you young-uns (who take the welcome you generally get from the long time residents of this great city for granted), if you have any talent, and drive, and a significant other who keep saying “can we buy a place and get out of this whole renting trap?” … well you young-uns will someday know exactly what I mean.

People who are smart enough, and bestowed with a decent upbringing enough and have wanted for little enough in their lives except for maybe a big fat “I’m cool dammit, notice me” ENOUGH… owe it to themselves and their fellow residents to show a little fucking respect for other people.
