Residents of Washington Square, the hoity-toity Gold Coast sub-neighborhood around the Newberry Library, are complaining of police harrassment after cops responded to complaints about dogs roaming free and owners not picking up poop in the park. The cops have been cracking down hard in recent months, go so far as to arrest two people who failed to provide proper ID. Alderman Natarus is now getting involved, promising to create "some sort of dog run" for the park. (Thanks, Jaime.)
