City overrun with film crews; drivers inconvenienced

Hand it to NYC Parking Enforcement to put these notices up all around the Silicon Fish Market on a Sunday night. What if I’m parked legally at a Tuesday-Friday spot? I guess I’m supposed to check for new movie productions every 24 hours. (How many movies can Don Cheadle do, anyway?)

Someone please find out what production this no-parking notice is associated with? So I can stage a boycott…

Curse you booming NYC film economy!

(Apologies in advance for all the SCREAMING. It’s just the City’s way of communicating.)

NO PARKING
VEHICLES MUST BE MOVED BY:

DATE: Monday 3/20/06 TIME: 4:00 – P.M.

OR THEY WILL BE RELOCATED TO THE NEAREST LEGAL PARKING SPACE

To me this sounds like a great service. You’ll find me a legal parking space? Oh…wait. Now I get it.

International Parking Sign Conference

Courtesy of Rich Mintz, attending the IPSC, who found this sign, which was supposed to be a secret, but we’ve decided to let the cat out of the bag. This sign will be debuting in 2008 as the new welcome sign for NYC, posted at the entrance to all the bridges & tunnels.

Reward Offered

Eye of the Tiger is offering a small reward* to the first person who submits to us a copy of a ticket for Violation Code # 57, which reads as follows:

Parking a vehicle within the area designated as The Blue Zone, Monday through Friday 7AM-7PM. The Blue Zone is bounded by the northern property line of Frankfort Street, the northern property line of Dover Street, the eastern property line of South Street, the western property line of State Street, the center line of Broadway and the center line of Park Row.

Any evidence of the existence of the Blue Zone, will also garner a reward*. Evidence must be submitted as photographs of signage, no quotes from (or pictures of) the written Regulations.
*Reward TBD and may not be monetary. In fact, it will definitely not be monetary, but it will earn you great respect from EoTT readers.

No Parking 11:30 am to 1 pm Mon & Thurs; Also No Parking Every Other Hour of Every Weekday
