29. An instant parking space

Wed Dec 12, 2012, 04:13 PM

Dec 2012

In San Francisco or NYC. Have you noticed that there's always one in all the cop shows? Even when they're undercover and driving an unmarked car?

Has anyone ever tried to find a parking space in either of those cities IRL? Of course, that would make Law & Order or Castle pretty boring, "Well here we are still circling the block for the 47th time. Someone's bound to pull out soon..."
