Do anything? that’d be too bourgeoisie. they’re going to ‘get it’ only if they get busted, if ever. they don’t give a fuck about your park.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

He would go stock up and only minutes later be walking back to the store. I assume he was making lots of money, but not very legal especially the with minors and such.

The “treats” guy was also there per usual. I always thought he was a little bit too blatant but I wish they would have left him alone, He is a really nice guy who has diabetes and makes special ones for others who can’t have sugar.

I live across from the park on Dolores and I just don’t get why people can’t be a little more discreet. I always have wine at the park, I keep the bottle in my bag and pour it in cups. I have never been bothered and if people would just be willing to make changes to keep things under wraps, we could all have fun and enjoy the park.

I know DP is our SACRED SPACE, the happy hipster hunting grounds and all, but come on.

Wake me when the cops go into the park and come out with young attractive white people in handcuffs.

Also, I love that the term “dry heave cavern” is catching on.

Not the “summer of love.” Taken, and… We’re too hipster for that. Maybe the “Recession of Grass?” That would speak eloquently to the trashing of DP turf, the departure of pot treat vendors, the loss of hair… all of it.

And in 30 years, will we have hoards of lost youth, trying to reclaim the experience, which when you think about it, is already a sort of hybrid set of references to everything from MASH and Midnight Cowboy to skinny jean’d punk? Its like a twice baked potato, or refried beans. Best served when 1st reheated.

And I don’t like anyone trying to sell me anything in a city park. Don’t care if it’s legal or not. If they have a stand on the periphery where I can go up and ask to buy something, that’s fine. But people coming up to me and asking if I want to buy something, or soliciting donations, well… that’s just annoying, and doesn’t belong in a public park — especially one that was donated to the city from a Jewish Cemetery with a specific stipulation that it not be used for commercial purposes. (Bet’cha’ll didn’t know that one.)

Of course, that’s just me… you kids might feel otherwise, just like I might feel like endorsing retroactive abortion up to the age of 27.

Me, I just buy some BBQ chicken legs and a salad at Bi-Rite and carry ‘em on in. A little ice tea is fine, too. No law against that. And no difficulty with satisfying a woman with that, neither.
