Alert “06880” reader Kerith Harding asks:
Have you noticed the sudden disappearance of the trash can that was in the 2nd of the 2 grassy seating areas along the river near Parker Harding Plaza? I think there may even have been one by the tables at the far end that has disappeared as well.
It makes taking a walk along the river and disposing of one’s dog-poop bags, Starbucks and yogurt cups a bit more challenging, as it is no fun to have to navigate across the parking lot, dog or children in tow, to find another one. What’s up with this?!
I haven’t been down to the river’s edge since last summer. Even if I had, I doubt I’d have noticed the vanishing cans.
but thanks, Kerith, for asking. And for sending along photographic evidence — including what looks like an extra can at Starbucks.
Mystery solved?
Clockwise from upper left: The lone trash can left on the Parker Harder Plaza river; Haley where a can once sat; there used to be one here too, Kerith says; 2 cans, for some unknown reason, at Starbucks.
