Pet Peeve a da Week**

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

Street parking in the city…. How long do you have to live or work in one to get it? I was picking up some Chinese food on the way to have dinner and work with my wife downtown last night (romantics take note) and I saw what made me wish I was on the motorcycle: The 3/4 Spot.

When you parallel park on an unmetered street, don’t give the middle wiper blade to the next driver looking for a spot by leaving just less than one between you and another car. Leave a couple feet ahead, leave a couple behind. Back in. If you can’t parallel park, practice till you can. When space is at a premium, don’t take more than you need.

(**Not that this will necessarily be weekly.)
