More parking spaces bite the dust...

We're starting 2011 with a bang! No parking, my ass!

What the?

Now tourists are parking in the round-about, and this guy looks like he's directing traffic.

It's that most wonderful time of the year.  Not.

Hey, mister.

You are a tenant of this complex, so does that give you the right to repeatedly park your truck in the handicapped parking spot, without a handicapped parking permit? Shame on you.

Six more parking spots bite the dust!

Hmmm... Parking lot, or round-about?

Why?

So the public parking lot was closed for 2-3 weeks for Carnival, then reopened shortly after Carnival ended. Now, a month later, they closed the parking lot again to paint the parking spaces. What am I not getting? Oh, wait, there I go, asking the "why?" question again.

Grrrrr...

Cruz Bay, Friday, June 23, 2010

Damn these taxis for taking up three of our six alloted parking spaces at the end of the dock.

Damn, wish this wasn't so blurry. School Food is having a little fiesta off the back of his truck, while taking up a 30-minute parking space. He's branching out!

Nice parking space!

Parking, yet again.

OK, so this stopped being funny long ago. They (who?) repaved part of the PUBLIC parking lot in between Nature's Nook and Denzil Clyne Jeep Rental. There goes six parking spots, which are now marked as "NO PARKING".  Oh, but lookie here! I guess if you work at Denzil Clyne's, not only can you take up at least 75% of the "public" parking spaces, you are also entitled to the ones which clearly read "NO PARKING".  GRRRRR. 

Here I go, asking the "Why? question again.

Why were there three unoccupied police cars taking up three private parking spots in front of Selene's Apartments this morning? Update! Friday was small claims at the courtroom in Boulon Center. Apparently, the officers can't walk one block up from the police station.

These are twins separated at birth.

This is a new speed bump in Cruz Bay:

This is a wheel stop:

Parking, again.

Email from building manager to all of the tenants:

Please be aware that the parking lot is for the customers of the XXXX - your customers. Tenants are not allowed to park in the lot overnight - and please do not even consider parking for an extended period of time. Many of you are going away for the Holidays - we wish you well. If you want to find your car when you return, we strongly suggest you park it somewhere other than the XXXX parking lot.

Have a wonderful, fun-filled and prosperous Holiday.

Reply from one of those tenants:

Might I suggest a more diplomatic approach when communicating with your customers, threats are seldom appreciated.

Sort of humble reply from building manager:

My sincere apologies if it seemed to be a "threatening" email. It was not intended that way but more of a reminder of the parking lot rules that often get overlooked. I thought people would appreciate a reminder rather than a surprise when they returned to find that their car had been towed. I appreciate your comments and will be more careful in the future.

Happy Holidays, XX

No, this is an empty chair, enjoying a cool Perrier. Taking up a parking space.

Cruz Bay Parking Spot

Now this one perplexes me. This parking spot is unsure if it is for 30 minute parking, or for use by taxi drivers. Hard as it is to see, the top arrow points to the right, and the bottom arrow points to the left. Me no know!
