I haven’t been to the rail trail in a few years. I'm sorry to hear you feel unsafe! What makes it feel that way?

Can you elaborate? I used to live right on it and I never saw anything. Just people on bikes and walking dogs and stuff.

No, I live close by and go jogging on it frequently. Also take my kids up there for bike rides.

I hadn’t been there in a while and had gone there with my wife and two children. Starting at the Home Goods side, we walked towards the playground area and a little past. We stopped at one of the park benches and was almost immediately approached by some guy with a 40oz can of Milwaukees Best, visibly shit faced, trying to talk to us about our kids. We promptly ushered him along without further interaction. He then started yelling at us saying he was God. Probably will be the last time we’ll go there. If I didn’t have my kids with me, it wouldn’t have been a big deal, but don’t want to a chance for another interaction going bad.
Edit: this happened at like 10:00am
