Maggie, a young teacher in her fifth year of teaching and a rule follower, finally had enough today. She's well aware that it's difficult for everyone to stay at home during COVID, but today was it! Being aware of the condo association by-laws, she figured today was the day to help her neighbors. First, in the middle of a meet with her juniors, she went outside to warn a neighbor that they needed to keep their dog on its leash. Yes, she should have been doing a better job of teaching instead of looking out the window at the snow and neighbors, but she wants a safe neighborhood. Someone needs to help other abide by the laws. Next, over her lunch break, she took a walk and noticed someone putting their recycling in the trash. Marching up to this rule breaker, she firmly shared her knowledge of trash vs. recycling. On her way back to her being locked inside teaching, she saw someone else with a dog off leash. This has to stop she told herself as she reminded this dog owner of the laws. Later in the day, as she went out to get her food delivery, she noticed a car parked illegally behind its garage instead of in the lot. Enough is enough she thought and left a not on the owner's windshield.
She felt good about being the neighborhood watch person until she realized someone had vandalized her front door in sidewalk chalk with a picture of Maxine, the crabby old lady. Obviously, they had the wrong door or did they?!
What's going to happen next? Will people continue to break the law? Will someone leave a cain leaning up next to her door or worse a box of depends?
What is happening to Maggie's neighborhood?
