Here’s an excerpt from Paul LaRosa’s blog, Here is New York:

I live in Park Slope, Brooklyn, where a miracle has just taken
place, an event so unheard of that it’s been front page news in the NY Times — alternate side of the street parking rules have been suspended in Park Slope — my neighborhood — FOR THE ENTIRE SUMMER!!!

I was so happy — now you can park virtually on any residential
street in Park Slope and not be towed no matter what the sign says. The
miracle began Monday and lasted all of one day for me because
incredibly, amazingly, unbelievably, my wife succeeded in getting our
car towed THE SECOND DAY THE NO PARKING RULES WERE IN EFFECT!!!!

How can this be, you ask? All I can say is what Elaine said to Jerry Seinfeld in one episode: "Oh, it be."

In effect, my wife performed her own miracle that superseded the
city’s generosity. There’s a couple of things to remember here — in
all the years of living in Park Slope, our car has never been towed —
until now. AND…just imagine. You can park almost anywhere in the
neighborhood and not be towed but my wife picked the one block where
you CAN be towed.
