Oh, right, we have that too
You may think that Brno is out of the way, that it doesn't have to face the problems that larger and more famous cities do. That is usually true, but it has at least one problem in common with Budapest: the dog poo. (It's too bad that Brno doesn't have more in common with Budapest, perhaps, like more music performances!) But dog poo is a problem all over European sidewalks, even in Poland, and has been for a long while.
Some Czechs created helpful signage to get the message across that some pedestrians don't like the poo decor. But perhaps the "shit garden" is a better place because, once spring comes around again, that crap is going to be popping up everywhere (particularly on the bottom of shoes where it will be smooshed and not shattered into icy bits).

A graduate student in music and anthropology writing a dissertation about music in Moravia, the eastern third of the Czech Republic. At some point, the Czech Republic's "second city" (that would be Brno) captured my attention, and I've since been blogging about events, arts, music, and other stuff—basically whatever interests me in and around the cityscape. I'm not living in Brno now, but I keep up with the cultural pulse from afar as best I can.

That dog-poo avoidance sign reminds me distinctly of Japanese subway signs. LOL
