New Levering Street Parking Authority?

Resident shares one neighbor's approach to poorly parked cars.

In the Manayunk-Roxborough area, driving and parking on narrow streets always presents a challenge. Outsiders may doubt the wisdom of parking cars on both sides of the street when it makes driving vehicles through pretty tough. But, residents know that every spot removed ensures more and more parking headaches.

However, when someone parks too far away from the curb on narrow and hilly streets, it can make passing by almost impossible.

Overnight on Levering Street Wednesday, one resident took his or her frustrations out on two inconsiderate cars.

David Bass shared photos from what he calls the "Levering Street branch of the Philadelphia Parking Authority (LPPA)."

"When I went outside this morning I saw these two badly parked cars with notes attached to their driver side windows. The white car's note says, "I park like an a-----'. The darker car's note says, "I too park like an a------.' I don't know who the LPPA person is, but I like the combination of concise directness with good grammar.
