So I got a traffic ticket and am trying to plead it online within the stipulated 15 days. I have tried three days in a row. I want to plead Not Guilty and Schedule a Hearing (one of three options). When I try to do that I get a message that there are no available openings to plead it, with a number to call for assistance. When you call that DMV phone number there are only automated info choices. So there is no way to respond or plead and the 15 days are ticking away. There is one more option: to MAIL it in. This is Byzantine, but does anyone know if this is what I should do?

Hi Neighbors. We've been plagued by some serial trolling. If you only have negative or reactionary comments, please move along. Here you go, and happy spring!

• Posts about Windsor Terrace, South Slope, Kensington, Greenwood Heights.

To post, please be a resident of, visitor to, or worker in these neighborhoods.

We're neighbors. Pretend we're talking on the street. No bigotry, racism, misogyny, name calling, or cursing. Treat others like you'd like to be treated. You'll be warned once. Or not at all.

• Stick to the facts.

Substantiate. Reddit is a great place for anonymous slander. Don't do it here.

• No trolling.

Toxic comments and rage bait posts are not welcome. If you are someone who leaves an intentionally annoying or offensive comment in order to upset people, get attention, or cause trouble, your stay will not be a long one.

• You are welcome to self-promote in moderation if...

...it is about your own, local business/pop-up/services.

• Points for positive.

Reddit can be nasty. Good karma if your contribution is a positive or constructive one. If your comments are serially obnoxious, we will notice.

This bar just opened up in Windsor Terrace called “The Cat” on Prospect Ave

I had an awful experience there TWICE with the drinks straight up being undrinkable… and SO overpriced….

The atmosphere is *chef kiss* - but everything is was just ugh!

Has anyone else been before? Did I just go on off nights? Just want to hear others thoughts? I know it’s a new small business and I want to support that, but I’m just so disappointed!

Have they just given up doing anything about it? Apart from locking up half the store? Today was the third time I saw someone shoplifting there. Very obvious, two of them, one a neighborhood character (he's often outside Dunkin), both walked out, no one even looked twice. The first time I told a manager. They did nothing. They must be bleeding money.

I don't usually put reactive and labradoodle in the same sentence, but I just saw one with a young woman and little kids barking its head off outside the hot dog place on Prospect Park West, then lunging up and snapping at a woman walking by. She jumped like a foot in the air and must have said something to them and then all hell broke loose. These little kids, maybe from 5 to 8, 9 years old, with either their big sister or their mom holding the jumping dog began screaming and cursing at her. Tiny kids, giving the finger. Like halfway down the block. Has anyone met this dog before? Wearing a black harness.
