Wayan’s poop efforts get recognized
John Kelly’s Washington has a piece today largely about dog poop and the man who doesn’t love it at all: We Love DC alumnus Wayan Vota.
I’ll confess I rolled my eyes a bit when Wayan was on his tear about the Petworth poop surplus last year but clearly I didn’t recognize the universal appeal of the subject. I certainly didn’t recognize the transformative power his efforts would have: he and Kelly say Grant Circle is a much less pooptacular place now and credit the change to an improved appearance – the broken window theory in practice – and signs posted by the local ANC asking people to pick up after their pets.
Nicely done, Wayan!

Thanks Don. And yes, Grant Circle is cleaner now – I even recently declared it poop free! Of course that requires constant vigilance, but yes, you can effect change through personal poop patrol action.

I, for one, am pleased to see that Wayan’s poo fetish is getting the column inches it deserves.
