[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the way church parking has worked for decades.

[b]Just because YOU live here now, doesn't mean you get to transform every detail of the neighborhood into something that fits your idea of how things "should be". [/b]

Those people at the church were parking like that 30 years before you bought your renovated, subdivided human filing cabinet with granite countertops and bamboo floors.

So just accept it as part of living in a city. [/quote]

But I couldn't get my parked car (and I had a sticker allowing me to park near my cheap townhouse on capital Hill) out on Sundays because I was blocked by cars going to the Ebenezer United Methodist Church at 400 D Street SE.  When I walked over to ask the ushers what I was supposed to do (it was urgent) they laughed at me.  I wrote a letter to the pastor and he sent back a very ugly nasty letter.  So much for Christianity.[/quote]

They were right to laugh at you!

[b]Seriously- were you REALLY expecting them to stop the sermon or singing hymns and make an announcement like "would the owner of a gold Escalade with MD tags "przjzus" please move your vehicle? It's an emergency, you're blocking in a young white hipster"

Of course I didn't expect that.  But their cars were blocking four blocks of other citizens' cars.  No one could get out and do anything or get their own kids to church.  Couldn't they leave their keys with the usher?  That's what I would do if I were running a church like that.  So we solved the problem by having the police come and tow.  End of problem.  But I still think it unChristian of a church to illegally park, knowing they were blocking in all the residents for 5 hours on a Sunday morning.  That's just rude.[/quote]
