Can you even tell what this is? I took this is few days back when it was raining hard but not ridiculously so. Anyhoo, this drain wouldn't let the water go down. It was just sitting there. WTF?
Here are my feet. I washed my sneakers a couple of weeks ago but apparently the machine didn't rinse out all the soap. This is what happened when I got soaked.
I'm really pissed that this pic didn't come out. Anyhoo, the car belongs to that dog that you really can't make out. I spied a grey/balding man letting his dog poop on the playground of Carney Academy. I went to that elementary school and everytime I see someone in there with their dog it pisses me off. Kids play there. It's bad enough if they get it on their shoes but what if they fall in it? That's so dirty. And here's the thing when the guy saw me he freaked grabbed the dog and drove away. What does that tell you? That tells you that with all the grass and backyards in New Bedford this guy drove to Carney Academy to purposely have his dog poop there. Nice right? I took down his license plate if anyone wants it.
Yesterday the DA, who may be the one person around here actually doing their job and doing it well, had a free day at the zoo for kids. So having no money I decided to go look at the animals, which I haven't seen since I was a kid. (There was a really good group playing when I went at the end but I don't know who they were.) Anyhoo, on the way out I saw this tree. I can't be even sort of happy for more than 3 minutes without seeing some other evilness.
Why do that? It's bad enough that people carve trees, but to spray paint it? There has to be a special level of hell for those people, but if not I'm sure Gaia will avenge this tree. :(
These two next photos are of this empty lot. There's supposed to be a house there but it burned down years ago and since then it's just been there. It's obviously not taken care of and if you were wondering the city owns it. You can walk on the sidewalk on the corner but you get lashed if you do.
I took a pic of this house. I guess nobody lives there, but why in God's name would anyone graffiti a house like this.
It has a person's name but I blurred it out. What is wrong with people?
Here is what used to be a firehouse. It's got a faded sign that says "Civil Defense". Appropriate. 
This image suprised me. I don't think it was that long ago that I walked down this street but I don't remember seeing that. And I hadn't heard about that either. This is happening a lot. I'll go for a walk and see a burned house without having heard about a fire there. Something else to make you wonder. Maybe I'll sharpen that pic later. 
Now here is Purchase Street at just before 11AM. Purchase meaning buy stuff. Notice all the people and shoppers. Oh you don't see them? Neither do I. Mostly because there is nothing to buy. There is a Family dollar and a Rite Aid a magazine shop and a smoothie shop that's open. Otherwise everything on this street is closed or not a store. Maybe that's why no one is downtown on the weekends.
Now amazingly enough I didn't go looking for this stuff. This is just the stuff I came across in my travels, by accident. So if anyone ever wonders why I'm always in a bad mood, look at all the visual imprints I get on a daily basis. These pics were all taken in the last 4 days.
