NEWBIES: Now hear this

A word to all you newbies to Coeur d’Alene:

When the light turns green, DON’T immediately start honking.

When looking for a parking spot at Costco, DON’T drive over planters and landscaping just so you can cut off the person waiting for the spot where an elderly person is backing out slowly and safely, and park your vehicle half in the parking spot and half in the planter.

Coeur d’Alene historically is a very friendly town where we greet strangers when and where we meet. We open doors for others. We say thank you and are respectful of others. Coeur d’Alene is the most beautiful city in the world and the best city in the world to raise a family. We love America and respect the rule of law. DON’T bring your s****y attitude to my town and make it what you just left. Be nice or get the HELL OUT.
