Favorite Picture of the Week
While out walking with Falcor yesterday I noticed that the gate to the Freeway was unlocked and wide open.
The lock on the fence was gone. When I've said before that the freeway is literally right on the other side of the sound wall, I mean that quite literally. Yes, there's always a lot of trash around here.
There's the freeway.
I could have walked right up to the freeway if I wanted to.

So...we have a mystery on our hands. Who would the culprit be?
ReplyDeleteNo idea. But the homeless people do often use this dirt area next to the freeway for smoking dope and going to the bathroom.
DeleteCreepy
ReplyDeleteYep.
DeleteWhy would someone want to walk on the freeway????
ReplyDeleteNo idea. But the homeless people do often use this dirt area next to the freeway for smoking dope and going to the bathroom.
DeleteThat would be a tragedy if any of you walking your dog had the leash get out of your hand. Oh my what if they went running up onto the freeway.
ReplyDeleteI know.
DeleteMaybe somebody thought the lock was worth stealing. Or there are places in the big area of dirt beyond the gate where somebody could hide while doing drugs.
ReplyDeleteThe homeless people do often use this dirt area next to the freeway for smoking dope and going to the bathroom.
DeleteThat is very worrying.
ReplyDeleteIt is.
DeleteI wonder if and when you might find out the rest of the story.
ReplyDeleteNo idea. But the homeless people do often use this dirt area next to the freeway for smoking dope and going to the bathroom.
DeleteI’m confused, idk what’s happening here.
ReplyDeleteThere's a gate that's usually closed and locked that leads right to the freeway.
DeleteDid they just break through to create a passage from one side of the freeway to the other? Really dangerous.
ReplyDeleteNo idea. But the homeless people do often use this dirt area next to the freeway for smoking dope and going to the bathroom.
DeleteYou sure have mysteries!
ReplyDeleteI do.
DeleteInteresting. However, the shots are great. You captured a mystery. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWe have such the Freeway too, however they are not free of charge. All vehicles who pass through the freeway must have ticket and pay some little entrance fees
ReplyDeleteSome of the freeways in the US have toll booths on them and you have to pay a charge to cross them.
Deleteoh no!
ReplyDeleteyep
DeleteWe are right next to the street that goes to our town's high school. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteWow, that must be noisy when the kids get out.
DeleteThat's concerning.
ReplyDeleteWe get a lot of trash along our freeways, too, but I love that some of the court-appointed community service people have to do is clean it up once a month so its not as bad as it could be.
The city workers come every few months to clean up here.
DeleteThat is terrible! Who knows what pet or child could wander over there?
ReplyDeleteThere's been a human size hole in the fence for years.
DeleteIt's shocking. Someone could just wander off and end up on the freeway.
ReplyDeleteYeah
DeleteOh no. It is so scary.
ReplyDeleteI see a lot of the homeless going in the dirt area to do drugs.
DeleteYikes!
ReplyDeleteI know.
DeleteI remember the "good old days" when people left stuff alone.
ReplyDeleteI remember that too.
DeleteGoodness! That is concerning.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Yes it is.
DeleteThat's scary. There's a parking lot for a shopping complex near me that only has some bushes between it and the Interstate. Big bushes, but some I know dog got out and through those bushes onto the highway. Not a happy ending.
ReplyDeleteOh no, that's awful.
DeleteOops, someone made a mistake.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure the homeless people got the lock off, they use the dirt lot there to do drugs.
DeleteI have to drive a little over an hour to get on to a freeway.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a long time. The freeway on ramp is about 5 minutes away from me.
DeleteThat seems dangerous!
ReplyDeleteYes, it sure could be.
DeleteYou may call is a sound wall, I call it a zombie protection wall.
ReplyDeletelmao It could be for that too.
DeleteInteresting to see. There is a lot of rubbish around, Mary.
ReplyDeleteYes there is.
DeleteThe wide-open gate to the freeway is obviously dangerous. Who would have opened it? A homeless person perhaps?
ReplyDeleteYes, they use the dirt area to do drugs where no one on the street can see them.
DeleteScary and dangerous. A lot of litter too. Sadly in Scotland littering is a huge problem :-( I really don't like it. Over here we don't have gates like this near freeways or motorways as we call them.
ReplyDeleteThere's always a lot of trash there. We have that problem here too.
DeleteThat's scary. It's dangerous all the way around but especially if there are children or unleashed animals in the area.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping the city workers come by at some point soon and lock the gate again.
DeleteSomeone did that to a fence dividing the apartments from a highway here so they could jaywalk to the liquor store. They fixed it a few times, but ended up giving up because people just kept breaking it as soon as it was fixed.
ReplyDeleteThere was a fence put up in between the block wall to keep people from going that way to the liquor store here. Unfortunately the fence hasn't been broken down for that place.
DeleteThat's strange the lock was suddenly gone and a bit scary how close the freeway is then. I wonder how soon they will fix it.
ReplyDeleteThe city workers were just here and saw he lock missing but didn't close the gate.
