An actual, real-life 4/20-themed tweet from Denver PD began with: “We see you rollin’, but we aint hatin HAHA…” complete with music note emojis. #SoHip #MuchCool #Wow. At least they ended it by telling people to #ConsumeResponsibly.
Four neighborhoods have been part of Fort Collins’ residential parking program, which requires vehicles to have a permit to park in these areas.
