Came home this evening from work to see that someone [[the City, I assume) has plastered signs all up and down Scotten saying no parking on the street from 8am to 4pm on Sunday for Cinco de Mayo. I can understand this for the stretch between Vernor and the freeway, but north of Vernor? Last I checked this block was not involved in the event in any way; they just block off the street at Vernor and that's about it.

I know CdM is hectic, and I just plan to not leave the house on that Sunday to avoid getting caught in the mess...but I've *never* had them tell me I have to move my car. I don't know where I'd even move it TO, with everything closed off around here that day. At least when they do this for street cleaning I can just go into work early. But my office is closed Sundays, and at 8am there aren't even movies open to go sleep through.

Grrr. Why do I feel like this was someone's bright idea to generate ticket revenue?
