Interesting story by Peter Applebome from the Times. It's from this past Thursday.
It seems a few teens in Greenwich, Conn., got a hankering to play wiffle ball in a vacant lot. So they went to some trouble to dress the thing up and do it right, complete with outfield green fence.
The lot happens to be surrounded by ritzy homes. (You see where this is going: Lawyers.) Some complain that they're too loud.
Knowing just what I know from the article, and being neither a teen nor a lawyer (but I was a teen once), I side with the teens. It seems there's some way they can work this out, without the adults feeling threatened and without the teens resorting to indoors/video game status. Let the kids be kids, I say.
