Slope Dog Run Egging On At Least One Novo Resident

The talk of the dog run behind the Novo condo is about how someone living in the 4th Avenue building threw an egg down into the run a couple weeks ago, evidently to show that he/she was not at all pleased with a dog’s barking. The incident happened after 8 p.m., when the run is technically supposed to be closed. (Its official hours of operation end at dusk.) Nevertheless: Extreme measures! According to a guy who was in the run at the time, the egg came very close to hitting him, and he thinks it would have been quite painful if it had connected. Another person who frequents the dog run says a Novo resident came out one morning recently and asked owners to quiet down their dogs because his baby was sleeping. Novo owners have previously complained about noise from the nearby handball courts and skateboard park, but this is the first instance we’ve heard of in which someone from the condo went crazy over the dog run noise. Neither the dog run or condo are going anywhere, so it’ll be interesting to see how they coexist in the long term.

I think the egg throw should practice his aim.
“this nosey busy body starts screaming and alerting in the dog run, saying over and over, “unneutered dog! unneutered dog!”
I bet that person hasn’t had any sex in a long time. I would have told him/her to STFU and go somewhere else if he/she didn’t like it.
if the egg woulda hit a poor doggie instead of a human, everyone would be outraged!
The whole point of having a balcony is to toss water balloons.
You know what – I’m going to change my mind, because I don’t know whether the dog was really being loud or not, b/c I wasn’t there. Yapping dogs can piss me off but on the other hand there are people out there who go PSYCHO over dogs barking in the distance. Mostly women, in my experience. I’ve dated like 2 or 3 women who would get totally irrational over barking dogs and demand that I confront the neighbors or call the police or whatever and get all up in my face when I told them they were being over sensitive and should just deal with it.
rob, it’s a public dog run under Parks jurisdiction.
My dog is not neutered and I have never been chastised about it. There’s just something about you, rob.
btw, there plenty of kids in the Novo, coulda just been a kid having some fun. Ah, the good ol’ days.
BoD, read the story. The egg thrower was within his rights if the run was supposed to be closed.
I agree, stupid Novo buyers (who paid oftentimes well above $700 psf) should have known better than to move next to a park and then complain about THAT noise.
That picture reminded me – it really is a spectacularly ugly building. Why are so many new buildings yellowish in color?!
So that makes it a points win for the dog owner. I agree with basementalist that both are probably a-holes, but the egg thrower is an a-hole with bad taste.
The dog run was sold as a feature by local brokers. lol… btw a lot of dog owners don’t like the run because of its size and its gravel surface. In fact I know a couple of owners that DRIVE their dogs to use a run down by me in SS/GH.
