Chaps My Arss!

This morning I walked out to my rental car only to be welcomed by a City of Chicago parking ticket. Apparently, there was street cleaning from 7-9 a.m. As a result, I was fined $50.

I blew a gasket. Not only is the permanent street cleaning sign 1/2 block down and obstructed by trees, there weren't any bright orange signs advising of the work this morning (as there are now educating people of tomorrow's cleaning).

So now I've written a letter to the City advising them of the obvious omission of proper signage and notification to visitors. I included a summary, along with photos, to detail my situation. Here's to hoping they agree. If not, I'm afraid I'm going to have to return some purchases I made this week to make-up for the fine - and that's no fun! I really need those Aveda candles.
