On our local LH email list<\/a>, someone complained about the ribbons that show up on Broadway during certain holidays, claiming that they stay up too long and start looking like trash. I’m not going to say much about the ribbons as I hate all holidays (well, except Halloween, any that give you time off from work, any that lead to drunken festivals, or any that celebrate worthy historical figures and dates, other than that I hate them all) and thus I am not in a position to make a value judgment on holiday decorations, though I do appreciate the civic minded efforts of the people that put them up. But that complaint got me thinking about trash in general and how people always seem to complain about the litter around town. Usually it’s middle class newcomers to the neighborhood that start the complaining, but often enough it’s also the old time locals fed up with their inability to deal with the problem. In any case, I think its merely a matter of perspective. Click ahead to see what I mean.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For example, you might see this as just some filthy cart full of trash, but when you give it a bit of thought, you’ll realize it’s an impromptu trash can a dedicated citizen commandeered in order to keep our streets clean. Good work fellow Lincoln Heightean!<\/p>\n Sure, this just looks like the regular furniture trash you often see during the first week of the month, but did you notice how these mattresses are nicely stacked together? That’s thoughtful.<\/p>\n Color coordinated trash, for the aesthetic sidewalk look. In LH, style and design actually means something.<\/p>\n Sure, you could just get rid of brown liquidy goo by just tossing it out on the sidewalk, but people here are considerate enough to put that goo in a manageable plastic bag. Classy to the core!<\/p>\n Sidewalk grass perfectly trimmed before the placement of First-o-Month furniture. Notice the torn box spring? It’s good form to check for a hidden stash of cash or other valuables before getting rid of it.<\/p>\n What the? Leaving trash out on the street like this is just plain rude. Don’t you people have manners? Call for bulky item pickup<\/a>, you inconsiderate clods. <\/p>\n As you can see, for the most part people in LH go out of their way to be considerate about trash and littering in the neighborhood. Way to go LH team!
