I'm certain it was them - the woman and one of the many men.... perhaps some nice person gave them a gift card to go get a good meal. I suppose that I should not assume otherwise.
4 Mile run park (bike trail down by the Arlington water treatment plant) has a lot of what I would categorize as vagrant types, mostly drunk and passed out. One of them knocked me off my bike down there a few years ago - I should say that the guy that was pushed into me by his buddies was so drunk that they just gave him a nudge as I passed - he toppled took me out and I heard his noggin smack the asphalt - with a deadly thump. All I could imagine was that I was going to be blamed for his injury as he lay there twitching. I called the cops and watched them haul a few of them off to the drunk tank. I hate that park because not only do you have the drunks but the litter and broken glass as well.
Maybe it's time to write a letter to the county board.
