I live in a city, but in a house with a driveway, which makes me extraordinarily blessed in the parking department. Not so much if I lived in Toledo, Ohio, though. Police The mayor’s office there are is handing out tickets to people for parking in their own driveways.

Turns out that it’s illegal to park on any unpaved surface in Toledo…and that includes gravel or dirt driveways.
