Curb Strips in Parking Lots

Has anyone hunted the curb strips in a shopping center parking lot? ....

What do you mean by curb-strips in a shopping center parking lot ? Do you mean curb-strips along the public sidewalk ? Or are you referring to the planter-islands ?

If you are referring to the ones along the street/sidewalk, then you don't need anyone's permission, in the first place.

But if you're referring to the planter-island (those decorative planter islands), then ..... that's an interesting question. Because the public is not disallowed there . I mean, duh, go figure, you park there, you put your shopping cart there, etc....

That's why there's a sign (in a plaque embedded in the pavement, or on a post that no one ever reads) that says something like : "Permission to pass revokable by owner", blah blah. I'm somewhat familiar with this, since I own a street sweeper business. And did shopping center accounts for many decades.

And perhaps there's a sign that says what you can't do. Eg.: "No soliciting" and "no loitering". I don't see "no md'ing", did you ? Not sure why anyone would want to detect parking lot planters though, in the first place.

Thanks Tom. I am referring to the grassy areas or planter areas in the parking lots. I am not sure it would even be worth the time or effort.O went to the mall the other day, which is no longer as busy as it was 15-20 years ago and saw the grassy areas in front of the food court and theater and thought maybe it was worth a look.

Ok, so you were referring to the decorative planter grass islands. I'm sure that there'll be clad there , but .... not sure if it's worth the bother or time.

As for ability to do it, I notice you say you went to the mall the other day. Ok, And you probably walked right by those planter islands, stood on them, etc..... Right ? Ok, question : Did you ask anyone "Can I ?" Did anyone object ? Probably not.

I do not know why md'ing is somehow in a class all-by-itself as despised, harmful, foul, etc.... that it's any different. Ie.: You'd have to try REAL HARD to even get someone to even notice, I bet.

You can certainly walk inside and ask "Can I ?", if you want. But in this litigious day & age that we live in, they will probably just give the easy answer and say "no". Same as if you asked "Hi, can I stand on the planter island and sing the star spangled banner", they would likewise probably say "no". Did they care one bit ? Probably not.

tried that. some zinc pennies, pop tops, bobby pins. This was at a very busy park parking lot. Don't waste your time. Lots of other better places.

tot-lots and volley ball courts.
