the parking situation

in lincoln park is untenable, and worse than i remembered. i know because i just spent an hour looking for a spot around wrightwood and clark. i was supposed to meet vic and what i will now call the 'seattle crew' i.e., all the people from the gsb and kellogg going out to seattle, permanently and for the summer, for whatever reason, for dinner and drinks, but got so upset that i just abandoned my night and came back to hyde park, where the parking situation is much better but there is also much less to do.
