Gramercy Park's dog poop wars return with more passive-aggressive notes

For as much as New York changes, some things stay the same—the absurdly nice Bryant Park bathrooms, the likeliness of running into Showtime! on the evening commute, a neighbor’s willingness to poop-shame their pet-owning acquaintances. Like a scene out of 2012, a tipster writes to say that a whole stock of passive-aggressive anti dog-poo flyers have appeared around the south and west borders of Ye Olde Gramercy Park, the most exclusive and decidedly anti-poop green space in the entire city.

Very much mirroring the white paper flyers condemning animal excrement that appeared around the park in 2012, the new batch of flyers shame a certain animal owner (or owners?) for not picking up. But unlike in 2012, at least one flyer takes a particularly creepy-movie bent, reading in part, “You can run but you can’t hide.” If this is indeed the same note-maker and culprit from 2012, and this issue is still ongoing, apparently they can.
