first "chair saving a parking space" sighted...

[an-art-worker.livejournal.com]

Came out of my house this morning to see this (really *ugly*) aqua blue office chair in the street. First I thought some chair-like alien had landed and needed assistance but then it dawned on me that someone had put that out to save their parking space. Never saw that on this street (Hawthorne) before (wait - one house up the other end does this). Always seemed more of a Southie/North End type of thing to do.

It always seems kind of bizarre to me (and I was tempted to move the chair to some snow mound but I was in a rush) but with this recent light fluffy snow, it seems like a stretch for anyone to make a land grab based on sweat equity.

Oh well. Some people shovel, some people don't. Some people put ugly furniture in the street, some people don't.

weird- I don't remember snow or shoveling at all when I lived (with car) in Chicago. Probably my P-Chicago-SD. I do remember 22 days one winter without a glimpse of the sun. Was ready to jump off the Sears tower.
