Gettin wonky in the hood

So things have been busting out a bit here in Lake Forest. Despite the park being closed, tons of people have been out on the lake (which we have expressly permitted under the Shelter in Place order as exercise). We seem to have a pretty good number of interlopers -- non LFA members, in the park and on the water. It seems like the lake may have been located by people walking, riding bikes, exploring. Seem like people have been sneaking onto the other end of the lake by parking on North Lake Shore and going down this little access road near the swamp.

Stands to reason. We will start staffing this weekend and bringing things under control.

But there's more. A family went to the end of a cul-de-sac leading into Cedar Falls Park (right where John Miketa lived in the early 80s). Mom, dad, kids, out for a stroll. There, in broad daylight, a couple was doing the nasty in a car. Now, this is not an isolated location, people. There are houses on each side of the road.

Overall, the lockdown is bringing with it some of the behaviors typical of societies where real estate is scarce. This used to go on a lot in the Soviet Union. People would sneak off to a corner in a park and get it on. In the dense cities of Asia where people live with their parents in small apartments until they get married, the thing is cheap love hotels where rooms go by the hour.

In 2020 lockdown Chapel Hill, I guess it's the cul-de-sac.
