There's a hell of a situation going on at the building I'm moving out of next week, and the relevant part is it's rare I can let Payton off leash in the courtyard. She doesn't like to crap while on the leash, and thus she hadn't shat all day yesterday. Around 6, I decided I'd walk her over to the nearest off-leash dog park to see if she could take care of business there.
To get there, you walk across the intersection of 1st and Pike that fronts Pike Place. At that intersection, cars from all directions get stopped by the lights and it's an all-way pedestrian crossing. So on a nice, sunny day, in that big open space in my picture below, when the walk signal comes on, there's people everywhere in that intersection.

I had to get the eff out the road, and wait for the next signal and have my friend hold her while I went back to get the crap. It was so dead-center, almost none had gotten touched by traffic.
She must have sensed my disappointment, and has since crap on leash in the courtyard last night and this morning.
