Saturday, 2:58 p.m. - The man in the status car, between the van and the other car, says to me, "You photographing my poles“?
“Uhm, say,” I respond, “that van is illegally parked.”
I’m on the phone with the police right now, gonna get him towed,” he says.

What Neighbors Say
49th said... We have called the Alderman's office numerous times about this guy who rents a condo on that street. He owns 2 of the nicest cars on the block and continually plays the "car roulette" game of sliding one into the handicapped spot and driving the other.
For residents there, it is a waste of possibly 4-5 legit parking spots, which is absolute gold on that block, esp. in the summer with the beach parking. It's a joke. They have done nothing. It is a joke to have 2 handicapped spots so close together on a street with limited parking esp. when they are SO BIG!
The other spot in question is used maybe once a month when the lady walks her groceries inside and doesn't use her garage! The guy can be seen every night calling the cops and they know exactly who he is and where he lives. He has threatened several neighbors that park too close to his bumper.
Tow trucks are there on a regular basis and this guy is very shady, actually was arrested one night. His landlord has been trying to get him removed for months with no avail.
The Alderman would do this block a big favor and investigate the owners of these permits because it is tiring doing the Rogers Park 500 around the block every night after 6 pm with these spots taunting you.

There is no reason for this nonsense. Mayor Daley makes me pay an additional $35.00 for my residential parking sticker and half the time I don't need it because I have to park on a street that does not require it because of these outrageous handicapped spots. I'm tired of driving around the block over and over and seeing one car taking up five viable spots!
