Neighboring the parking lot was a parking ramp.

I interpreted the placement of the Christmas wreath to mean that the usual "customer parking only" restrictions had been suspended during the holiday season.

I treated the word "parking" as a plural noun ("parking are") and seemed to equate a parking sign with a parking lot (the "parking [is] discolored"). Between those absurd details, my carefully correct use of plural possessive, the little-used adverb "brownly," my verbification of "all-caps," and my gleeful othering of the culturally dominant Baptists ("their bibles"), I thought I was being hilarious.

This is in Illinois but it reminds me of Indiana.

Out for a leisurely evening stroll in the city! In the crosswalk I smacked my ass suggestively at passing motorists.

A few options:

A) Formerly the bar accurately recorded a clearance of 8'6'', but it no longer does because its support structure is leaning.

B) The support structure was intentionally forced to lean, so that the bar would accurately record a clearance of 8'6''.

C) The bar has never accurately recorded a clearance of 8'6''.

This being the U.S. southeast, we can be confident that the answer is C.

Well, welcome to the parking lot I guess. The concrete ornament is intended to resemble a phony trashcan. Ridiculous!

You're not supposed to be looking at the sign from over here.

I would like to see some little flags attached to the little flagpoles on the little turrets.

There's still a parking space reserved for the 22nd and 24th U.S. President, who died in 1908?

Ha ha! This sign is actually at the entrance to the parking lot for Grover Cleveland Apartments, in Caldwell, New Jersey, where he was born. The garden-apartment complex named for him is in fact across the street from his birthplace.

I presume the word "APARTMENTS" was left out to save money - it must have cost five dollars a letter or something. :-p

Were I the owner of that mulch I don't figure I'd be very happy about it getting wet. Because the brilliance of its dyejob is probably the #1 reason why I'd've bought[en] it in the first place. So I wouldn't want for the dye to rinse out.

The sun's back out so you can turn back off the lightpoles now. ... Whenever you're ready. The sun is out again so they're not helping anybody anymore.
