STREET CLEANING!

Technically, I live in Clifton - not Crescent Hill - but I most certainly have gotten a parking ticket for not moving my car in time for street cleaning. Somehow it just seems much worse when you get a parking ticket right outside your own darn house!

Getting a ticket in front of "your own darn house" makes me want to park in the yard. Then I guess I would really get a ticket, or the boot.

Sometimes you just got to go "Philly Phanatic" on these parking enforcement officers...lol...Man, talk about your high stress job...

Yeah, but getting the car through the front gate of the yard is a bit of a stretch!

It other Crescent Hill parking enforcement news, someone who ran into Heine Bros this morning on Frankfort came back out to a nasty surprise! They couldn't have been inside for 5 minutes because they arrived after I did and parked in front of me. The front 1/2 of their car was in front of the telephone pole with the no parking sign, the back 1/2 of their car was behind it in the "legal" zone. In the time it took to get my mocha, they had gotten a ticket.

Is parking enforcement reading the forum?!?!

Hey, we were IN Heine's this morning, but didn't see that. (It's an easy walk for us, so we go up often for the exercise, that's it, the exercise!

I will say this - it's not so much Heine's, but there's a lot of really bad parking around that corner of Frankfort and Bayly, where what appear mostly to be customers of Carmichael's and that little junk shop behind it totally ignore the no-parking signs all the time. On Frankfort, it's a problem for the buses, which then have to stop in the main driving lane and hold up traffic. On Bayly, it's even worse, because it's not possible for two-way traffic to flow through the intersection when people park up to the corner. Frankly, I'm sorry for your friend, but I wouldn't mind seeing enforcement teach some of those people the lesson that "No Parking" does not mean "No Parking Except For You."

Harrumph!

Not a friend! I don't even know whose car it was - must have been someone in line behind me. Just thought the situation was 'funny' given this topic from yesterday!

Glad it wasn't anyone you knew, then. We did get irritated with an impolite lady who was hogging all four sections of Heine's NY Times and didn't want to share any of them and trade later. I kind of hope SHE got the ticket.

(Er, I'm assuming that wasn't you, Heather ... )
