lol. I’m looking forward to buying a car and fighting for spots in park slope.
No way I get involved in any twittering or texting over parking spaces though.
Oh, look. It’s time to move my CAR right now for street cleaning. What a crazy coincidence.
Man, it pisses me off when people complain about “yuppies” and their cars. Hardcore working class native old timers don’t have cars? I risk my life saying the following with half of my real name on here: THE worst worst by far worst offender of street parking hogging on my street is not an interloper like myself, but one of the beautiful salt-of-the-earth natives. He and his family have a wonderfully oiled system for continuously monopolizing 4-5 spaces with their three vehicles.
Plus, it’s no one’s effing business who has a car and who does not. Last I knew, it’s still legal to own a car in NY.
Um, this is in response to the comments on The News article on the Park Slope parking texting thing.
i thought parking notification programs were pretty common in a lot of places. is this a different kind of service? it would be fun, as a non driver, to sign up for the service, and then run and try to beat others running for the same spot and be all like ha ha i beat you and your lame-o fuel efficient car slow poke!
*rob*
I will be sad if the ‘pool parties’ dry up (and so will Chuck Schumer – who is cooler than you are)
Park Slope parking is diabolical.
1. Beautiful photo!!
2. Joe, worth “a half a billion dollars” has a really great office!!
3. Only in friggin NYC and only in a place like Park Slope are people going to text for parking spaces.
4. RIP Ruthie.
