Pershing in Ashland, there's a bunch of baked goods in the street, probably fell off a truck. Maybe a hundred, 200 packets of a raspberry cake. 104. This is expired? Only if you look at it. Dimensions are. It's perishable. Just the headstop, it is blocking the turn lane. So I guess we'll see what we can do about scooting it over, but you might want to make a note to streets and stands, I guess. 10-4, I'll let them know.
