Yeah, it's REALLY tough to click on the "New Search" button and get to the actual search screen vs. the results screen URL Bing posted.

Bing,

You game the results link, not the search link.

Don't know if they are in subsidized housing. Around the time of the 2013 Ohio incident, I believe "Camera" had a story or two re: them getting evicted. At the time, I passed by there a few times on the way to North Foothills Park and saw a unit with an eviction notice on the door. And soon after, maintenance crews working on that unit: new molding, carpet, etc.

"Who the hell would buy a magazine (or anything) from someone knocking on your door? (Girl Scouts excepted)"

Well, same people that fall for telemarketing scams and ilk.

And especially elderly.

Was at an older relative's home a few years ago, and they almost got suckered in. Polite, clean, young lady came to the door. "I live in the neighborhood and I'm selling magazines to fund our school trip to...". Right. Sent her off and educated the relatives about that scam and ilk (as someone else mentioned in comments, lightbulbs, popcorn, candy).

"But, banning smoking on all openspace parks is way overkill"

I generally agree with this. Heck! At least on the trails, I can't recall seeing anyone smoking.

But this is all about pushing homeless away. North Foothills park, Wonderland Lake, and the trail system off it usually has a few homeless hanging out there drinking, smoking, passing out.

But even with new laws, how many cops or "environmental officers" are they going to hire to try enforcing? Still see smokers on the Pearl St, sure, less than used to be, but it hasn't stopped and cops and rent-a-cops that patrol the mall don't seem to have it high on their priority list.

TTW brings up a valid point. With the expanded ban in the fall they want, might not affect many, but for example, the new-ish affordable housing apartment complex at corner of Broadway and Yarmouth. Library in the corner unit, bus stop on Broadway side, all maybe within the exclusion zone when one is on their unit's balcony. Ditto the condos, apartments, townhomes that line Yarmouth (a handful of bus stops on both sides of the street there).

2814 entries. Entries does not equal starters.

In a different "Camera" story, they say "...and just over 2,300 athletes began the race".

Think I saw mention on the live feed blog that about 2400 started, so, 400-ish did not start (website lists 2814 entrants).

Not sure how the bib numbering works, but highest numbered gear bag I saw in the bike/run transition area had a bib number of 2899.

Three out of the five homeless deaths have now been attributed to substance abuse. The year-round homeless shelter the enablers want would have solved this how?
