I stayed at my father’s apartment the other night — a tower apartment building in Jersey City. I arrived fairly late at night and I was surprised to see all the parking spots that were open right in front of the building. What a stroke of luck, I thought, for some reason with a British accent. I had thought — maybe from watching Seinfeld — that it would be impossible to get a good spot in front of an apartment building at night. I parallel parked, went inside, and slept.
When I woke up in the morning I realized why there were so many free spaces the night before. Apparently the area is a hot bed of activity in the morning, with so many cars double parked, triple parked, quadruple parked… it was just a mess. So I waited a half an hour (or so) to get unblocked.
