Thank God the police were there to arrest this menace of society. How dare he have a beer in front of his house. Meanwhile, break-ins are still occurring.

It never occurred to me that it was a criminal offense to sip a beer in front of your own house. I assume it is because he was on the parkway, or had his feet on the street, as opposed to being entirely on his front lawn? Can I have a beer in my back yard while cooking brats on July 4 or is that illegal too?

I think there is a fine line, between tasteful and un-tasteful conduct. Elmhurst is not some hill billy ghetto hick town where people park their vehicles on their front lawns and drink budweisers watching cars drive by. Elmhurst pushes the character counts campaign and the town caters to the well-to-do, type. In order to keep the community affluent and generally nice.
Obviously trashy people are also attracted to nice places, but only after their own trashy neighborhoods have been deemed ghettos, and sewers do they want to come to your town to party.

This poor fellow who was drinking on the curb needs to get himself some help. He has been arrested many times in Elmhurst (from Patch police blotter) but police can only do so much, like pick him up from drinking on the curb, and let him sober up in a jail cell for a couple of hours. Unless he gets some help, sadly, we are going to be seeing more of him in the blotter.

I agree with you but I don't know if we as just citizen's can do anything to stop that practice. IRead More wish that each cyclist had to have a license, and that it was enforced by laws and police, on the bike so that people could report occurrences and have the person receive a ticket just like a person driving an auto. That would make sense.

A couple of years ago, Villa Park installed "State Law- must stop for pedestrians" signsRead More on the roadways where the Great Western and Prairie Paths cross. I saw a big increase in path users barreling across the streets with no regard for the stop signs on the path.

I was really hoping that the Elmhurst Police would sound in on this info-I do understand kids willRead More be kids, but if one of them is hurt, that adult driver will need to live with that for the rest of their life-so let's come up with a solution for both bicyclist and cars to be in harmony. I really think that a step up in enforcement in the bicycle laws would help-just like the drunk driving laws-believe me the bicycle laws are just as important.
