Petworth has A LOT of struggles, but that’s what makes we who live here vital and the fact that we live here important." The reason I read this blog is because it is a great blog. I enjoy PoP's perspective, and enjoy reading other people's comments as well. Make no doubt about it, I love Oakton. Does that mean I have to stop reading this blog? No one denies that petworth has a lot of struggles, or that the people who live there are important. I'm not really sure where you got the impression that I think otherwise. For me, the positives of Petworth did not overcome the many negatives. Anonymous Said: "I’m glad GuinnessPhish moved. I’d rather have to pick up a paper cup than to sense his/her contempt for the neighborhood as I walked by on the street, stood next to him/her at the metro, or waited in line behind him/her at the grocery store." I'm glad I moved too....as I said earlier. I'd rather not to have to pick up a cup AND feel the contempt of many (most) of the native Petworthians as I walked by them on the street (and they spat at my feet) or stood next to me at the metro (and asked me for change and then cursed me when I said "sorry), or waited in line behind them (as they put 30+ items on the 15 items or less "express" lane". “GuinnessPhish – The fact that U R you are obviously spending time reading PoP (not just articles but comments, as well) and then needing to share the wonders of Oakton makes one wonder how much U R really enjoying it there.

When I'm finished eating, I want to throw the stuff out, as I don't want to bring it into my house. I may drive through an alley and find an open dumster or a supercan I can throw the stuff out in. Occasionally, I have missed and get out of my car to pick up the trash bag. It would never enter my mind to throw my trash out on the street, in the gutter, on the street corner, or anyplace other than a trash can or dumpster. This is home training, upbringing. My parents would never let me litter and I carry this home training with me to this day. It was just ingained in me. But then again, the other day I heard a 3 year old say, "Shut the f*ck up" so there are many lapses in home training going on.

And yes, we would clean and then it would get dirty again, but it would not be dirt on top of dirt... Why mow a yard if it is just going to grow back again? Because we don't want grass as tall as our house obscuring the property and looking the worst that it possibly can.

I have made several posts on this thread, but on my way to work today I watched a guy chug a 24 oz energy drink on at the end of the commuter path in Ft Totten Park and drop the can. He then dropped it on the ground. I point out that he dropped it and suggested he pick it up and throw it away. He completly ingnored me! I just don't understand.

In this respect, DPW is actually good because they will work with you and provide supplies and make arrangements to come get the filled bags of trash...
