Been living for 22 years in this city and I don't think I have read one.

I got into Pokémon Go because my eldest wanted to play it.

Now, when I'm out and about in a new town or city, I use it to learn about cool shit that I wouldn't have noticed otherwise.

Some towns have "history trails" or "plaque walks" which make for banging running routes too in unfamiliar places.

There are so many statues in my area I always walked past without looking at until I joined a local Pokemon Go Discord server and had to learn all the names to be able to meet up for raids.

I annoyed my wife to great extent when visiting Mesa Verde National Park as I had to stop at every little pull-off and read every little plaque.

Anyone else read that as plaguemaxing at first?

Wipe blood on every plaque...

That just reminded me of a story my buddy who used to work at walmart told me.

Apparently, an HIV positive man came into the store with a knife and slit his own wrists in the produce section. He then proceeded to spray or fling his blood all over as much produce as possible, before being arrested/restrained and taken to the hospital.

A hazmat crew and to come in and dispose of all the produce in the store, tent off the area and sterilize it.

I didn't know it had a name. Perfect.

I personally love the ones that talk about kind hearted people the most.
