Exasperated Elm City Resident Sees Red Over Rick Chow’s Latest ‘Common Sense’ Parking Crackdown on Halloween Decorations
Alright, Elm City. I am absolutely fuming. I just got back from the grocery store, and what do I see? Rick Chow and his band of merry enforcers are at it again, slapping tickets on Mrs. Gable’s minivan because she had a single inflatable ghost hanging off her side mirror. Since when is a little holiday spirit a "visual obstruction for snow plows"? It’s mid-October! Where’s the snow? This is total bureaucratic overreach! We’re all for common sense—like not parking in front of a fire hydrant or blocking a bus lane—but this has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with power-tripping. Absolutely ridiculous. Does this man sleep?
