ok so I'm following up to your comment late here.

I was out on my motorcycle today for the first time this year burning off the old (but stabilized) gas. You're right. The lot she was referring to is on the Southeast corner of 9th and Reed. I cannot believe it's just free; you're telling me it's just a random lot that is first come first serve? No way. My friend lived half a block down on Reed at that side street and I don't recall ever being able to park there. Are we sure it's not connected to the adjacent property? Maybe for the residents of that? I need to know more, I just can't believe there's a communal free lot that anyone is welcomed to park in.

even though OP is biting my goof from earlier I can't recommend a bidet enough. I've had one for about five years and I'm now exclusively a home court guy. I don't have a hot water hookup, it's just a basic water spray, and I adjusted within days to the cold water on my special area. It's one of the best $25 I've ever spent.

Yo I had a similar deal in the early 2000s til about 08. We used to park in the school lot at 4th and George, they’d keep it open and the deal was just be gone 7am. New residents started abusing it so they started locking up; on the one hand I was pissed, but on the other I used to love seeing people bug out that their car was trapped

this is just a random story, but I was talking to my aunt about a month ago and telling her about a parking issue I had. About 35 years back she lived at 8th and Reed before moving to the burbs, and she said something to effect of "oh I used to just park in the lot there on the corner of 9th" (or something).

She asks if I just have a corner lot that residents park in, for free mind you, anywhere near me. I tried explaining that that's not a thing, and that there isn't a chance in hell that whatever lot she parked in from the mid 70's to mid 80's is still there. She refused to believe her lot was gone, and that the (nameless/faceless) owner of that property would ever undercut the neighborhood just to make a buck.

don't be afraid, just say 'black people'. If you want to have a discussion about the issues within that community you should be able to so long as it's in good faith and you bring potential solutions to what you see as problems. While we're at it, let's talk about the white kids shooting up schools with military style weaponry in record clips, as I'm sure you have major issues with that as well. Right?

why is it so hard for people like you to understand that guns can be a part of the problem? I conceal carry and I have several firearms, but I can readily admit that too many guns with easy access is at the root. This shit doesn't happen on the regular in other countries.

was this at Aramingo and Lehigh last night? Because I was sitting at that red light right next to a cop sitting in that little lot on the northeast corner. I couldn't believe it, I gasped the dude could have taken out multiple cars.

I wish this was the mindset of more people. I’m not a pit lover or hater, but I love dogs period. Some people just shouldn’t own pets, it’s that simple. My mother has wanted a boarder collie since ours passed 10 years ago, but her and my father are elderly and were ultimately swayed to adopt a Lhasa. No way they could handle a high octane pup anymore.
