Parallel Parker Scores Alpha Spot at Uptown Art Fair

The Uptown Art Fair is like the big game of the year for parallel-parking lovers like myself. And boy, did I get a doozie this morning. I watched others slow down to look at it, and move on, but I wasn't going to give up so easily, oh no. I slid right in that spot, and with a few gentle back&forths, it was a perfect fit. I didn't even touch the cars on either side, not even the gentlest nudge (with the Kia, no less! = no power steering). There was a guy working in his yard when I got out of the car, and he actually complimented me on the parking job. I was so glad he noticed, because of course I was so pleased with myself that I wanted to take a picture. He and I took a few steps back and sized up the parking spot like a couple of hunters gathered around a moose they'd just killed.
