I was luckily not far away from my car on Craig Street this past Saturday when I noticed that the new paid parking kiosk was requiring that I enter my plate number, not simply insert payment. In other words, have your plate number either memorized or jotted down before you head down to the kiosk, especially if you notice kiosks existing where until ( Read more... )

Beware of street cleaning, this week, and make sure your car does not get ticketed for being on the wrong side of the street. Me?

This month began on a Tuesday, so there are five, and that's why my street was cleaned today and I got a $25 ( Read more... )

Ok, I know everyone is sick of parking chairs, but I need to ask because I've seen it mentioned before... how often DO people get their cars keyed? I parked in an un-chaired space last night and today I found a passive aggressive note left by the shoveler saying I can't park there. Now I'm honestly afraid to park anywhere, chair or not, without ( Read more... )

No idea why the OP got deleted, but seriously Pittsburgh, this parking chair nonsense makes us look like quaint little nutjobs to the rest of the world ( Read more... )

 I've lived in this city for many years, but this is the first winter that I've ever had a car and the first place I've lived where I had to park on the street.  Taking this background information into consideration, I never paid much attention to local parking customs during the winter.  Can someone please explain to this noob why people have ( Read more... )
