Midtown Woodward is a cesspool

Probably shouldn't have let it run this long, but today's article showed how important some places treat the issue. In Chicago, failure to pay the $500 fine for public urination will double it to $1000 plus jail time. It also appears the city will begin stronger efforts against drinking in public which has over the years become quite relaxed in enforcement. At the very worst, police would require that person to pour the beverage out and carry on.

Also didn't realize that the city can fine parents if their kids violate ordinance.

The sad thing about doubling the fines for public urination is that the $500 fines don't work, which is why they have to double it when locking the washrooms is the reason those areas in Chicago where McDonald's locks their washrooms are cesspools. You are living in a neighbourhood in Chicago that's an even bigger cesspool than midtown Detroit since the midtown McDonald's didn't even lock their washroom.
