Parking

I like Parking. Honestly, you don't realize how much you like having readily available parking until you don't have readily available parking. Currently, I do not have readily available parking.

Living in Baltimore City hasn't been bad at all, really. I live on decent street and the blocks surrounding me are made up of tree-lined sidewalks and renovated row homes. The people are friendly and I live close by bars, restaurants, the Safeway and work. The only drawback of living in the City is the parking.

But this isn't a negative blog, and this post is about how I like Parking. And it's true, when there's a spot in front of my apartment, or even on the same street my day improves ten-fold and the next morning gets kick-started on a positive note. It's not that I don't think walking a block or two is bad--in fact it's good and healthy. But when my car is three steps from my apartment door, then I like Parking--a lot.

  1. Before I submit my comment - let me state that having reserved parking in front of my Condo is half of the reason why I purchased it.

    BUT: Andy, you're really grasping for something to like with "parking". What's next? "Andy Likes Oxygen"?

  3. What about parallel parking? Nobody likes that.

  4. Where do you stand with parking garages? Me, I'd like to own one, not a huge fan of parking in one, but ultimately have security in knowing the car is not ticketed or towed when I return
