Handicap placard abusers on notice
Here's one for you about abuse of the handicap privilege. The one doing the abusing? Our very own Harbor Police, that useless bunch that the Port District has "protecting" the shoreline. I attended the sold out Garbage show on Shelter Island and by the time I arrived, there was no handicapped spots left. So I backed up into one of those boat parking places--there were 3 or 4 other regular cars already parked there--and put up my placard. I limped in to the show and when I returned, my car--with the handicapped placard clearly hanging--was ticketed with a parking infraction. None of the other regular (non boat) cars were ticketed--only mine. I took pictures & have witnesses. However, since the Port and their merry men receive FEDERAL FUNDS from the gov't, they must follow all ADA access laws, including accommodation. Looks like I might have a nice little discrimination case here. This story is just to show that it is not always the DISABLED who are doing the monkey business. Sometimes it is the cops themselves, who are up to no good.— October 19, 2015 6:58 p.m.
San Diego businesses chafe under Yelp's increasing power
I am surprised that the Reader is yelping about Yelp. Their own Yelp reviews are nothing to write home about. It seems that some people who had dealings with the free Rag come away thinking that the Reader takes them for granted, treats them disrespectfully and that there is not much work going on behind their closed doors. I don't know about that but it is not right to read on Yelp about stories being stolen from freelancers to avoid payment and rewritten by editors at the Reader using fake names + personas. "Carlos Bey," anyone? Since the Reader is always yapping about all the wrong things local politicians and greedy companies do here in San Diego, might they consider getting their own dirty house in order?— October 10, 2015 8:09 p.m.
