Due to fear of another parking meter issue, Chicago officials chose an alternative spot.

Whaaa.. I did nothin’ wrong!”
Your City of Chicago would have issued a $200.00 ticket within a second. Pure arrogance.

Has anyone taken the time to FOIA who that vehicle is assigned to at the moment.

On a dimly lit street of the Capitol City, crime sits idle.

Thank goodness you found it! I reported it stolen this morning.

Because there are never any fires after dark, officer.

Before passing judgment, we need to be certain that the hydrant was there when the vehicle was parked.
To make that determination, I’ve assembled a blue-ribbon commission of stakeholders that will issue a report no later than Jan 1, 2028.
Thank you for your understanding and concern regarding this matter.
No further questions.

Parking tickets in Springfield are like, $10. You can’t valet park in Chicago for less than that and parking garages are at least $30.
So the mayor’s office is finally showing they have a grasp of smart fiscal policy.

Dibs!

The only thing missing is a windshield papered with parking tickets.
Either that or a fire hose going through the side windows and attached to the hydrant.

It was the only space available along the curb when they parked. Hours later, the other cars left to go elsewhere.

Ya think?
Such genius.
By the way, did you miss the fire plug?

“By the way, did you miss the fire plug?”
Kinda difficult to miss it. It was the reason for the comment.
Comment by Huh? Wednesday, Nov 20, 24 @ 1:10 pm
We won’t be needing this, we already burned everything to the ground.

In case of fire, pound grass.

You should have used the sarcasm logo. *smile*
I laughed.

The last time I had a problem parking in Springfield was at Obama’s announcement. And yet this person found a hydrant to park in front of…

The van is just there to pressgang two maybe tree lobbyists during veto session to become Mayor Johnson’s new IGA lobsters.
