Reminder: Patterson Park off-leash talks tonight
Baltimore City Department of R
ecreation and Parks will meet dog owners and other park patrons to talk about developing off-leash hours and/or a fenced-in dog run in the Southeast Baltimore park.
The meeting will start at 7 p.m. at the General Wolfe Middle School, at Wolfe and Gough Streets. If you can't make it, I plan to be there and will blog afterward....check here after the meeting.
Parks head Wanda S. Durden has said the city is looking at off-leash hours in four parks: Riverside, Pattterson Park, Herring Run and Wyman Park. They're thinking about 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. in the morning and then 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. at night.
But whether or not to proceed, she said, depends largely on what the community thinks of the idea.
The City Council voted in May to pursue the idea of off-leash hours.

An off leash dog park at Patterson is WAY overdue

While sitting a an intersection(4 way,4 lanes) a kitten went running across. The cars stopped, people were getting out trying to rescue. FINALLY, I witnessed Humanity at its best. It was so scared, running all over, going under car wheels trying to hide.
Should we care? Man must care about the creatures of the Earth.
