Update: the parking spot saver war on my block, I switched sides
My neighbor Mike has been holding the same street spot with a lawn chair since Tuesday. I used to think that was pure Chicago nonsense. Last week I shoveled out a spot after the snow, and some guy in a Prius slid right in while I was getting my boots on. Mike watched it happen, gave me a nod, and dragged his chair over to mark it for me. I never understood the chair thing. Now I get it. It isn't about being entitled, it's about standing in the snow for 40 minutes and watching someone else take the fruit of your labor. I bought my own chair today, an old plastic one from the alley. Is this how it starts? Has anyone else converted after getting burned once?

Chain the chair to the bumper or the neighbors will start playing musical lawn furniture.
