There's a new custom home build on our block, and the contractors couldn't care less about cleaning up after themselves. Mud everywhere, plastic wrap blowing into trees, and worst of all—roofing nails scattered along the street edge. My second flat tire in two months thanks to their complete lack of street sweeping.
If the trail has 3 feet of soft snow, put on snowshoes! Booters walking in street boots leave deep 18-inch postholes every two feet.

The city's park booking portal opens reservations 7 days in advance at midnight. At 12:00:01 AM every single slot on every weekend court is instantly booked.
