A Wall Story That's Not About THAT Wall
-
Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square is a lovely spot right in the middle of Center City, with trees and grass and a wall around it that people love to sit on and have lunch and watch the world go by. But it's also a place were people congregate to hang out and smoke weed, and the neighboring residents don't like that. So now there are four signs to warn people that there's no sitting on the wall, and the people who just like to do so are upset. The city also claims that sitting on the wall endangers its structural integrity, but it's a brick-and-concrete wall and it's been there for a century with no problem. Are we at the point where you can't even sit down because someone might fire up a joint? (Philadelphia Inquirer)
