When I lived at Grove Pointe they did short term rentals.

Try calling around. I like Monaco.

Teenagers are ruthless. Nothing good would’ve came out of that.

Eleana Little is a worthy candidate for county and one to watch. Voting out the DeGises' cronies would be a good path forward.

I'm starting to think that asking rotten people to pretty please do the right thing doesn't work.

Which she will ignore, again.

Which will elicit vows to recall her, again.

Which will result in zero tangible, organized action, again.

Which will spur the activists to call for her resignation, again.

Repeat ad nauseam.

Sounds like you should’ve bitched them out in return

Yes, that’s the location

It's not his responsibility to teach someone else's kids how to behave. Only to carry on with his life and keep his partner safe.

You know not every door and lock is exactly like your set up, right? And that one can get locked out of their apartment even if they left it with their keys, right?

They're at the age where you can't legally retaliate, which sucks but it means you have to be careful. I'm a tall, somewhat imposing man, and even still dude. When I see a raucous crowd of teenage boys I don't know, honestly I will sometimes cross the street.

I remember being that age. They're shit heads and it's easy for a group of friends to egg each other on into doing bad things.

It sounds like you did the right thing OP. All you could have done to retaliate was bark at them, say that you'll call the cops -- maybe they'd disperse, but if anything, you're just increasing the risk to yourself and your girl of being harmed.

In a position like that you do whatever you can to help her feel safe. It can't hurt to use your voice at least, but beyond that the move is definitely to exit the situation as quickly as possible.

In the title it says near the Holland Hotel and OP also says behind the Newport Mall. So basically 11th/12th and Marin Blvd.

When you say “behind Newport”, where are you talking about?

Pull out your phone to call the police or use one of those blue Emergency kiosks. You never know how long they will engage so best to get help early.

If nothing bad happens to the kids, then the behavior will continue and/or get worse.

So I don't have answers, but anything that doesn't involve that, isn't fixing the problem.

The only thing you could have done was called the police. That’s about it.

Hey, just sent a dm

Saigon Cafe. Only offered during lunch, but it’s very good.

Yep, it’s very good though

I’ve had the same experience

No.

Lord, I go through this with tenants all the time. If you don't have a backup of some kind like a neighbor or a hidden key, then don't set your latch to lock behind you! If you have to turn and lock with your key you'll know whether you have your keys with you or not!

Besides if you're doing it in a way you can get locked out, then you're not throwing your deadbolt and your place is much less secure.

I like a grilled dog too, but the determining quality factor in either preparation is how long it's been sitting there. A place that doesn't move their grilled dogs puts shriveled little peckers on your bun.

At home I lightly microwave the dog (A&H kosher beef) and then put it on a piece of foil in the toaster oven on "toast". Plump and snappy!

I've probably tried most of their Bahn Mi sandwiches at this point and they've all been pretty damn good. The rest of the food was meh but I've enjoyed the sandwiches
