Family of raccoons spotted off Market

Posted by Geeky Swedes on September 4th, 2009

We’ve seen a raccoon in a tree, a raccoon on a roof, and now there’s a family of raccoons hanging out next to a bar on Market Street.

Robby emailed us, “I was walking on Market Street, when I passed by that dentist office next to the Old Pequliar. I looked over and saw, a whole family of raccoons!” He says the raccoons stood there for about two minutes. “They sure didn’t seem scared of me.”

This is a shot of them walking near the Old Pequliar parking lot. “Not quite a cougar sighting, but it was still pretty surprising to see a whole family of raccoons right off the sidewalk on Market,” he says.
