When the snow is deep and every parking space represents half a day’s work, the parking chairs come out in full force. Chairs are traditional guardians of residents’ parking rights in city neighborhoods where driveways are rare; though they are not strictly legal, they have the force of etiquette, which is stronger than law. The driver who would move someone else’s chair to park in the space it guards is capable of any enormity. Usually the chairs are half-broken kitchen chairs kept in the basement for just this purpose, but this particularly elegant chair reserved a spot in Beechview. Whether the bird feeder is functional or ornamental is a question old Pa Pitt was not able to answer.

Nice parking chair! Perhaps the bird is south for the winter, and reserving his spot all year long?
I too have wondered about the Yinzer Space Saver.
I agree, that is a fine chair. Pittsburgh should sponsor something like a parking chair beauty contest.
