Joan Darrah Promenade — Local services in Stockton

Sadly, like most (public) places these days (Covid), wrought with homeless, and the garbage they (unfortunately) seem to bring, was everywhere. No sign of any kind of security patrol, police, or even cameras. Tents, cars, all the benches, everywhere I looked, people were sprawled out. Every garbage can I saw was overflowing, this the first day of Memorial Day weekend. No one was rude, or threatening, or even pan handling, that I observed. But why the city would fail to at least empty the cans along the prominade??! I felt very uncomfortable. Would not want to be...

It could be so much better if the police would stop the homeless tents and drugs being sold on the walk and finishing path. They have two seals that live in the water. Very fun to watch. The city needs to clean...

Besides the name the waterfront is still great though I remember Mayor Darrah and she damn well doesn't deseeve the waterfront to be named after her.

That being said nice place to meet people and hang out...
