Running: it's really more of a spectator sport!
I live on Fell street and after seeing all this shit go down, I figured that my neighborhood would be a total disaster this morning. Much to my surprise, when I left the house at 7 am, there was just about no trash in the streets or in the Panhandle, no weird lingering scent of urine, and no errant costume remnants. Everything seemed to be business as usual. Some people may take the angle that this event needs to “cleaned up,” but Public Works and the race promoters seemed to be doing an excellent job of that already. For an event where participants seem to have trouble keeping themselves under control, it's nice to see that the city can handle the clean-up like professionals.
