Ever since I moved significantly closer to NYC, I have run into a few…challenges.

Today’s challenge is parking…rather finding a place to park on the street so my car does not get towed away. When I was waist deep in the search for an apartment, an assigned or guaranteed parking space was part of the optional criteria.
