Thanks to the nice guys at the south end bottle return. I showed up with my bottles and because I was with my new baby, a guy who was ahead of me in line alerted the staff who pulled me out of the line, carried the bottles for me and helped by pushing my stroller outside where I could wait in the quiet while the sorters went to work. Then another staff brought my change out to me. Thanks a ton. You made this errand way easier and I really appreciate your kindness. —New Mom Running Errands

Nice to see that gallantry is still happening in this town, even in the most unlikely of places. Seems that these folks all made your day, and perhaps you and your wee one made theirs as well. Those unexpected kindnesses are the ones long remembered.
