I'm guessing the experience part is getting the personal attention and looking at all the shiny things. I get it.

If you *really* want the experience, find and buy from a locally owned shop. I did that when I got my wife's engagement ring. Ended up getting a really great piece that was surprisingly within budget and left feeling like a million bucks because the buying experience was so good and personal.

Seriously me and my husband got both of ours on Etsy, found two great small businesses and were more than pleased. We didn’t want to spend a lot of money and wanted ethically sourced materials.

From a legal perspective, I think you're correct here but that pedestrian could choose to step into the crosswalk at any point; I think it is totally appropriate to preempt that in a car.

Even if they ARE in the crosswalk and I stop in my car, I would still be blocking the view of them from cars in other lanes; they should be driving slow enough and aware enough to perceive what is happening and react in time.

The onus should be on the folks wandering the city in multi-ton metal boxes to be as safe and cautious as possible.

Thanks- this has always been a bit confusing to me. I'm not exactly sure why there needs to be a law to stop for people in a crosswalk. If you don't stop when someone is already in the crosswalk, wouldn't you kill them? Which is already against the law. So then that leads me to assume that this law means to stop for people who are about to enter the crosswalk.

Before I get downvoted, I'm just trying to understand the purpose of the law.

it can travel decently, it's droplets of water so as far as that goes. But usually the applicators for something like this won't be going more than 5 feet if that. I didn't see what they were using of course, but it would be pretty obvious as there would be large swaths of dead park.

So highly highly unlikely to be an issue.

I would definitely recommend Agape. I was stunned by the quick turnaround, my vet said it could take 3 weeks for them to engrave the urn and have the ashes ready, it ended up being 4 days. After losing my cat, being able to “bring her home” so soon did really help with the grieving process.

depends on lease language. Basically a lease gives you certain rights to the property. You might actually be leasing the patio, or you might have access.

And you may only be leasing certain rights to the patio. Basically, look at the lease language.

But honestly, the easiest thing will be talking to the property manager here, and see if there is even an issue, and if 10 minutes of moving flower pots will solve it
