Mike Salm: Keeping shopping carts out of Rascal Creek a civic duty

Thanks to two grocery stores for keeping their shopping carts out of Rascal Creek. People walking along the bike path would like to see a natural environment, rather than seeing carts in the creek. Food For Less and Save Mart contribute to good ecology, with everything in its proper place. Thanks to all stores who monitor their carts.

But Target doesn’t seem to believe in good adding to the beauty of Merced. Their carts are in the creek now and have been for the last several years. Calling the store has no effect. Join the community of Merced, Target.
