When we came outside, we found an MPD officer and a Whole Foods employee coaxing him out of the street on friggin Wisconsin Avenue, where they’d apparently chased him into traffic on purpose. They saved him but the kids ran away laughing. He was just a dog, I know, but my personal experiences with the Wilson kids in Tenley over the years have ranged from mildly annoying to outright dangerous…and even in the best of circumstances in a school filled with honor students who play the tuba, “rapid release” especially of that many kids in that age group is so so stupid.
The cops should have written a ticket/citation to you for animal cruelty. Who ties their dog to a pole in the middle of a busy city street? Leave the poor thing home!
Putting that aside, yeah, they are teenagers. They are loud and rowdy.
But the neighbors in Tenley have a longstanding rep of being racist NIMBYs - the reason Wisconsin Ave looks like shit is because they fight to the death any new development or construction. If they want peace and tranquility and none of "those kids" - MOVE TO THE SUBURBS.
