In Lents, those pesky crack pipes just won’t go away! Two years ago, the notably affable neighborhood association member Jeffrey Rose took up a campaign to get local convenience stores to stop selling the tiny rose vases that neighborhood ne’er-do-wells typically used as crack and meth pipes. Under neighborhood pressure, the stores stopped selling the little glass vases but then the covert pipes started to pop up again in September.
Now Jeffrey’s at sort of a loss of what to do. Looking for guidance from the neighborhood, he posted a poll on the Lents discussion board trying to gauge the right course of action – should they sue the stores? Picket them? Give it up? Right now the poll is leaning toward the mild choice: “I think we should push convenience store owners to get rid of the stuff.”
Well that’s not very helpful. How should the neighborhood push, exactly? I made up this little poll to find out, including some 100% Portland Conflict Resolution TacticsTM.
What should Portlanders do about convenience stores that sell tiny vase crack pipes?
People still do crack?
What, “continue to buy crack pipes as usual” isn’t an option? This survey is biased.
Jake deserves a cookie for using common sense.
Live and let live. Just stay the crap off my lawn you dicks.
Ha ha.
Affable?!! I like it.
