[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did the Washington post include the bit about the reserved parking? That seems like a normal thing for businesses to do. The restaurant is taking up parking spots away by the other business. I see reserved parking for X business only all around town.

I’m sure there’s a feud but that part threw me off. [/quote]

My thoughts exactly. Seems nitpicky. [b]Happens all the time in small towns around here[/b].[/quote]

Are you saying parking disputes, specifically, happen all the time in small towns? [/quote]

Yes. That part did seem “nitpicky” (as the pp said) to me. Parking disputes happen everywhere between all kinds of people from all kinds of walks of lives. All sorts of businesses have reserved parking spots even with an adjacent businesses. Just as an example. I live in Olney and my kids take music lessons at the music and arts Center. The music center shares a building with a chiropractor’s office. [b]It’s a small parking lot[/b], but there are designated reserved parking spots just for the chiropractor‘s office and I don’t even think there’s bad blood between the two businesses. So when the Washington post adds information like that, it detracts from the argument. A shopping center across town has reserved parking spots for dry cleaners, and ironically, the other chiropractor’s office.

Most of that whole area is parking lot. There is no shortage of parking in that area.[/quote]

Right, but according to the story a few of those are his and he gets to reserve them for his business.
