Beautiful Spot
I've temporarily got a car. I park it on the street. I've been reading a book called Tepper Isn't Going Out, which is fictional account of a guy who parks his car a lot in New York City. There is this magazine in the book -- a parking magazine -- and it's called Beautiful Spot. What a marvelous name for a parking magazine! I think I'm going to start noting the beautiful spots I find around town. Some of them have been truly magnificent.I still remember the incredible feeling I got after finding a spot on Washington between Christopher and 10th street, next to that restaurant on the east side of the street. I was overjoyed! Those spots are always taken, and moreover, there are a bunch of No Parking signs on that block, so there are only about 4 spots in total. Then there was the spot on Washington Place, between 6th avenue and the park. I was going to park in a not-good-for-the-next-day spot, and move the car after stopping by my friend's house. After I backed up into my spot, I saw not one, but TWO perfectly legal spots directly across the street. I couldn't believe my luck! I immediately moved the car over and left it there for the next two days. All this, and next to the park, too!
Yesterday I found a beautiful spot just east of 6th avenue at 11th Street. Nice spot, easy walk home. Life is pretty good.
