This happy little shopping cart has had a long history and it is happy because no one in unincorprated Miami Dade County will remove it. It is sitting near a field on West Dixie Highway at between NE 193rd street and 194 Street. I first saw it in May. This is Sally Heyman's district. (I thought her whole district was incorporated). Who will take responsibility and REMOVE the cart that has been there for almost 4 months that I know of.

Do you have a story like this in your neighborhood?

The best part: The tree growing right into the cart. Soon you won't be seeing that frying plan anymore. Great work Miami Dade County!
I am hoping to follow the life of this shopping cart at least through the new year. Soon it will be obscured by over-growth and it will be part of the landscape.
Could it be, this is the equivalent of the stones left behind on, I believe Easter Island. The first harbinger of a society running out of consumer money.
My neighbor has one in his driveway and I have no idea how he earns his living, coincidence?
This shopping cart conspiracy has something to do with Donald Trump and illegal aliens. Are you sure no one is living in that cart without documentation? There might be an anchor baby in there.
This is a symptom, a sign. A new AMC series is in the works profiling whatever the meaning is to the broadness of our society.
Why don't you just call 311? That is what a responsible person should do.
First I am not a responsible person. Why don't you call? You have a map. Why can't you be the responsible person? I reported it once besides I was hoping a tree would engulf it.
Sure I will with pleasure.
Don't call 123, let's wait for the tree.
it's more fun watching things grow around it. Let nature be the artist.
In Homestead, we are supposed to have people that will collect them if they are reported. I haven't yet tested it yet. Hope to do so soon. I wonder if the leaders in our communities realize that things like this lower property values and a quick easy way to boost them in some areas would be to clean up abandoned shopping cards(and enforce the leash laws for dogs.
It's not a tree growing into it, it's a vine...Virginia creeper. As for whose responsibility it is to remove the cart, or to call 311, that's the problem right there. A clean community is everyone's responsibility, but very few take that responsibility upon themselves. They wait (and wait) for the government to do it, or bitch about the government not doing its job, rather than taking the bull by the horns and getting it done.
I reported it each time I took the picture holier than thou.
Looked today, the frying pan is gone and the vines in the basket are dead.
