    The 1967 snow storm happened 3 days after I was born in Chicago. I routinely hear the story of how my dad had to walk in this snow to get milk for his 3 day old baby girl. 🥰

    I live in Chicago.
    I've seen paint cans, An Ironing Board, Chairs and a Bar stool. So far.
    Every winter, it gets crazier. But people DO throw the shit in the snow and park. But, there's always a fallout for that. Then....it's on.

    Why don't people make it a community or neighborhood effort to remove the snow for everybody, Instead of just digging out a place for themselves? Every neighborhood should have a rouster to sign-up for those that are willing and able.
    This can become contentious if dib spots are taken. We ought to be neighborly, at least making efforts towards that.
    Making it a time for fun and getting together as a community. Like it was in the 60s and 70s.
    I'm just saying.🤔

    Yeah , I understand dibs. But some people get greedy n call dibs when a inch of snow falls n the snow melts away the next n still keep the parking spot. That's B.S !
