09/03/2003 Entry: "Stock Up On Pears So I Don't Slide To My Death"

Local readers, the time is ripe to stock up on some local pears. There's an excellent source at the corner of Washington Boulevard and Quincy Street, right across from Washington Lee High School. There's a neglected pear tree there who's fruit is dropping all over the sidewalk leading to a peardestrian hazard of pearposterous pearportions.

If you don't slide to your death on the sidewalks's lawsuit-inspriring coating of slippery pear mush, and you manage to avoid all the bees chowing down on said mush, you should be able to make off with some nice Bartlett pears, if they haven't all fallen off the tree by the time you get there.

Based on the sorry state of the sidewalk, I really don't think the owner of the tree's going to miss the pears much.
