What your neighbors are talking about on social media

• Just found this little male yorkie in my yard!
  He's very friendly, but hot and dirty. I'm in between Gulfport & Child's Park (Nextdoor Gulfport)
• Question: why does this area keep building apartment buildings with a balcony where you can get possibly one foot on the balcony?
  Or being more generous.....where the balcony is a little larger and I envision people having their kneecaps in their chin while sitting in a chair… (Nextdoor Stetson)
