out of order...

update: there are two free parking spaces on Metropolitan avenue...



















this is not the work of the Department of Transportation. This was the work of a presumably drunk driver at 5 am this morning. i just happened to wake up a moment before when i heard a car pass and hit something. i knew it wasn't a building on the block or another car, those noises are pretty distinct, but with my eyes still shut and comfortable under the covers i decided to fall back asleep while the sound of the anonymous driver attempted to move his or her car away from the area of the accident. When i left for my swim this morning i took a look down the block to see the damage. Two parking meters and a parking sign. Good work indeed...

as we approach the busiest bar night of the year—amateur night, i want everyone to take care as you decided to get in your death machines after drinking too much. Most of you will be too drunk to drive, so don't, there is no excuse, and i'll tell you what—anyone caught drinking and driving on my block with get a nine iron to the head courtesy of the hit squad...

for those of you in the weeds, the hit squad is a consortium of individuals banded together to rid the world of those deemed to be harmful to society and that's all you'll ever need know...

it occurred to me that maybe the driver was trying to steal the coins from the parking meters. But there are better ways to accomplish this...

Tell me you picked up the meters and opened them up for coins. What about the sign? I hope you stole something from the site!

There was nothing to steal, I was lucky to get the pics, DOT was all over it pretty quick.
