Tow Zone
My weekend trip to San Diego made me realize how Berkeley is always, always in a state of change. Here's one example - - don't park at McGuire and Hester, or if you do, mind the sign.
Oh, I sure did ... back in the day, when I lived in Oakland.
I lived across from a foofy grocery store with a big, inviting parking lot. Residents weren't supposed to park there for more than an hour during the day, and I tested that rule over and over.
One day I walked out ... and my car was nowhere to be found. Took nearly $1K to get it back! Expensive lesson learned, check.
