I live in one of the loft communities downtown right next to Minute Made Park. I absolutely LOVE the building. The location is prime.  Over all my experience here has been wonderful. The landscapers keep the property nice and clean, the flower beds nice and the grass freshly cut. It's like a little paradise in the middle of downtown. At night when I walk my dog, I can hear the roar of the crowd as the Astro's hit one out of the park or there's an RBI... I am a part of this community and am lucky enough to have it as my back (and front) yard.... This is where I live and I take tremendous pride in it. On any given game day, the street is supposed to be NO PARKING from 2 hours before until 1 hour after. I have seen people park there, and absolutely nothing happen, I have seen every car with a ticket under it's windshield wipers, and I have seen every car get towed.It's different every game.. I have to say, it would be kind of a bummer to go have a good time at the game then come out to find you car has been towed... HOWEVER!!!!!! This is clearly marked NO PARKING. While I wouldn't go out of my way and call to have any of your cars towed, out of an act of kindness to those of you who park there, you could extend me the same damn courtesy by not using the grass as the dumping ground for any and all loose trash you have in your cars. It blows my mind at how disrespectful you are to your city as well as what is considered part of my yard. I see it all, coffee mugs, beer bottles, 12 packs of beer bottles in the boxes just set outside the cars, food wrappers, clothes, dirty diapers. Maybe you do this at your own house, but WE don't do this here. It does not save you any time by throwing the trash out on the grass, why not just wait until you have a trash can in front of you...? Maybe all the beer you're drinking while driving (real smart) to the game has clouded your judgement. With everything you see these days about environmental "friendliness" one might assume these idiots have been living under a rock... Sounds more like they were raised in a barn...
