This post goes out to my new friend (and author of this flier), Jen, who left me the nicest comment today! She writes:

Miss Heather,

You’ve been driving a few lovely men my way by internetizing my ad. Perhaps one of them will be Dream Boyfriend! Keep ‘em coming.

And yes, showering is absolutely key.

Jen

Glad to hear it— and by all means let me know know things go. We married folks live vicariously through you!

A Southside PSA: Let There Be Parking!

It would appear the removal of a 45 space parking lot so as to build a(nother) condominium— and the space piracy of a public sidewalk— has rankled some Southside residents. Oh yeah, if you are wondering what is written on the green tarp it is (and I quote) “Yuppy shit”.

Urban Fur: Southside Special

I encountered this cute (and incredibly shy) fella at the intersection of South 3rd and Roebling Street today. Per his “person” (a kindly older gent) his name is Scooby Doo.

And as his shirt plainly states, he is Puerto Rican too!
