We see plenty of litter on the neighborhood's sidewalks every day, but rarely is it quite this bleak.
A debris field of cigarette butts, needles (both used and unused), batteries, and plastic wrappers is strewn across a stretch of Divisadero between Haight and Page this morning. Reader @PaulPramley alerted us to the scene via Twitter:

Additional artifacts from this almost-definitely-not "fun" night include a nondescript laptop bag, and, perhaps fittingly, a copy of Malcolm Gladwell's book The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference. Throwing on our rose-colored glasses for a sec, perhaps some good samaritan accidentally dropped this tragic pile after roaming the streets picking up trash all night? Or, maybe it's art. Please let it be art...@haighteration Good morning from Divis! Someone had fun last night #needles pic.twitter.com/v2QC7cqAHi
