What about their own property?

In answer to D&L, yes, we did have a dog park in our former neighborhood. In our city of 60,000, there were three, plus a 1 1/2-mile- long dog beach on Lake Michigan. Dog parks are ubiquitous; they are commonplace. Why shouldn't we lobby for a dog park here in the southern section? The developer saw fit to put two good ones in the north. We need a decent one in the south.

I drove by the TG mailboxes today. There were neither the community watch trucks nor a sign saying no dogs. But it was 11:00. Perhaps at 2:00 when people normally pick up their mail they will be there. Bare, maybe we'll find out more soon.
