Ok, I can see the reason for the lawn chair emergency buying if I lived in the city. But me and PCIntern live in the leafy 'burbs where everyone has driveways and/or 2+ car garages. Of course, the little dead end street I live on is like a tiny slice of Manayunk with the parking. Some of us here regularly park in the fitness center's lot next door anyway as long as we park close to our houses which is part of their giant lot they never have need for the customers to park there anyway.
I've seen the ironing board saver before somewhere. The funniest one I think I ever saw was someone in Manayunk that put a big plastic dog house in his parking spot with a "Beware of Dog" sign on it. Then there was the kooky lady that used to live across the street that rotated her kids in and out of her spot! She also had two cars for years and always insisted that she always get to park them both right in front of her house. She actually knocked on my neighbor's door once and asked them to move their car because they parked in one of "her" spots.
I've got to send these pictures to my brother in Boston. If he finds a place to park 6 or 7 blocks from his place he's thrilled that he got to park so "close".
"Game of Cones".... that's a riot!
