The sidewalk, Boston Common, and middle of the travel lane are favored places for some folks to leave their cars these days, apparently

some months back someone did this to the sidewalk right in the middle of davis square. it made me all nostalgic for greece, but americans were less used to it and there were a bunch of them (plus a cop) clustered around it. you'd think they'd never seen someone park a car on the sidwalk before! ;)
