Visit a park in Manchester after 11PM or before 7AM

The paper here publishes in the afternoon on weekdays, so wasn't sure if that was the same there.

and they run a website

[Pat McCotter]

They publish daily ... umm ... overnight.

And their website seems to follow their paper for stories. Nothing raw seems to be put there.

The UL website does update for major or breaking stories. I doubt they would categorize this story that way.

Ayup. And when the final story broke (that the Gang of 8 refused to allow the ballot vote), within an hour there was a story with over 30 comments posted.

Anyone know when the UL story will be up?

Anyone know when the UL story will be up?

Saturday morning shortly after midnight.

Today (Sunday) there is a new one.

Did you intend to link to an article about the park protest?

Curfew protest ignored by police


Police on Friday ignored a protest of their city parks curfew crackdown.

A handful of protesters violated the city's parks curfew while collecting litter in Veterans Memorial Park.

The act of civil disobedience was organized after police began issuing dozens of summonses last month to people in the park during the curfew.

The curfew is 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., except in parks where there is playground equipment. There the curfew is 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Violating the curfew carries a $50 fine.

Police have said the crackdown is part of an enforcement effort to head off more serious quality of life issues.

During the hour-long protest, police cruisers passed by the park at least eight times, sometimes driving along Elm Street and others detouring east onto Central Street. None stopped and only one officer seemed to glance their way.

Thanks. I left a comment letting the MPD know I plan to continue walking through the property I already paid for the "public" parks as I choose, regardless of their threats.

OK my brainstorm right now is to have another litter pickup at 6:30 a.m. followed by an illegal 7:30 a.m. jog around city hall.  You're not supposed to jog in manchester without wearing a blaze orange vest.   of course, somewhere in there i would again violate all the other laws we've been violating...the puppet show law, the milk container law, the minimum wage law, etc.

I'm thinking the date on this would be Friday 9/19

I'm thinking we follow it up at 8 am by simply staying at city hall and having a demonstration 8a - 9a against the spending cap obstruction going on.

thoughts?

It would make for good video if your "jog" was slow-mo and showed you being overtaken by walkers. 

For that matter, define "jogging". Difference between jogging and running? Between jogging and speed-walking?
