Because I parked it on the street and the police posted moderately inconspicuous signs about street cleaning today between 7AM and 4PM. :(

...I thought maybe you'd seen Prince or Bob Mould or Paul Westerberg or Grandpa Zimmerman or something.


This is much less fun. :(

My mom's been telling me for months to keep my eye out for Prince but I've had no luck so far. :( :(

All in due time.


Isn't his "complex" in Energy Park?



Paisley. Energy Park is some dump in St Paul

7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.? Dang, thats a long time to have no parking just for street cleaning.

They still using push brooms and barrels there?

Yeah dude but they whistle and sing and do a little soft shoe in the process. I hear it's pretty neat. Unfortunately I missed the show because I was at the impound lot.

I think it might have been until 12PM though, now that I think about it.

Same thing happened to me in Madison, WI...but I was only there for 2 hours.

Welcome!

Also watch out for those snow emergency days. I once had my car towed because I parked on the even side of the street and there wasn't a single flake of snow, so somehow I failed to figure out it was a snow emergency.

Princes house is in (or really near) Excellsior. It's not as nearly purple as you'd think though. If you wanna see him I suggest banging on the big gate outside.

Oh, and welcome to the city!

If you're going to live here, you need to know that we think we're the best at everything. Our media tells us this every day.

Today, we're the best at voter turnout. :)

that happened to me here in chicago while I was at a party. went out to my car at 3 a.m. and it was gone.

I also got my car towed for parking near wrigley field during a night game without a permit. that time they just moved it somewhere though, so it wasn't too awful.

the last time they towed it because someone stole my tire and they scooped it up while I was at work. I just let em have it that time. I was gonna donate it to PBS, but oh well.

It's now been about 2 months, and my car has already been broken into. :mad:

I noticed when I looked out the window before I went outside to leave for work that the trunk was open. I was all like, "Huh...That's odd..." knowing perfectly well that that's what had happened, but trying to deny it. But then when I got out there, I saw that one of my back windows had been completely smashed in. My cd player/stereo and a bunch of my cd's were stolen. Thank god the useless fucks who did it didn't take the boxes of books that were in the trunk, which collectively are probably worth more than everything else they stole.

This is my first official week at my new job, and I had to call out today. :(

^ god I know that feeling...I'm sorry it totally sucks. I felt totally violated when my car got broken into...they took over 200 CDs (I know I know...totally my fault for having that many in my car) broke the driver side window and ripped out my whole counsel...stereo and all.

I'm not as upset about my shit being taken as I am about the fact that low-lifes actually do this to other people to earn their keep. Get a fucking job, douchebags.

Yeah, that's pretty shitty. You know, a lady who's a patient of the dentist I work for had her car broken into and her purse stolen. In her purse was her social security card, passport, all her credit cards, debit card, cash, wallet, pictures, sunglasses, cell phone, everything. When I asked her what all that shit was doing in her purse, and why her purse was in her car in plain view, she said "That's where I ALWAYS keep it!" And she always keeps that shit in her purse too.

I was in shock. She was in shock too, cuz she had NO IDEA anything like that would ever happen.
