Look closely to see grass seeds

As predicable as a Patriots loss of late comes a fall ritual that also happens in the spring: reseeding a bad spot in the lawn front of City Hall.

The bald spot is ultimately care of a landscape design flaw that encourages pedestrians to cut the corner on the grass, over-watering, and in the spring salt damage care of a Roman salting of Carthage grade treating of Kim Jong Koch Plaza in of City Hall with salt during snow and freezing events even though many to perhaps most local streets are typically subjected to low salt diets.

In any event, as for the reseedings, they are all but invariably failures.

Fall reseeding barely sprouted before freezing weather happens and then in time are damaged from excess salting for ice.

In turn, spring reseedings suffer from over-watering and — again — pedestrian damage.

One would think that city employees would finally opt for putting down some bricks or concrete where the grass keeps suffering damage. 

Alternatively, there are variety of products on the market that protect grass from foot traffic.

City peeps, however apparently never learn, are stubborn, perhaps something else or maybe all in a mix.
