Then stop driving it until you fix it. Police departments have the discretion to tow the car, next time it might be a pricier than just a ticket. If you don’t show up they will default you and you just owe what you owe plus court costs…not sure if that will eventually impact your license too but that’s the risk you run

Honestly, you never know. They’re still prescribing Zofran to pregnant women. I personally know 3 women 2 of which whose children had a cleft lip/pallet and one of which’s children had a heart defect. If you read the studies on that up on until a few years ago, they were not yet linking Zofran to the birth defects.

The Cable Car Cinema was on South Main Street. It had couches / love seats.

I believe the OP is talking about Castle Cinema that was on Chalkstone Ave. I went there several times but I don't remember them serving food to your seat.

Looks like you are right. I was wrong.

This supports your point of view (From NIH 2006):

> We observed an association between estimated maternal prenatal PFOA concentration and defects of the brain among live births, but the number of reported defects was small and within the range of what would be expected. In contrast to the weak indications for increased risk at the highest exposure in previous studies, we observed little evidence of an association with congenital heart defects [28, 29]. In addition, essentially no association with oral clefts was observed despite prior toxicological support from animal studies. Findings were largely null for the remaining defects.

It was framed as giving people an option to on street park (which had previously been banned altogether) but then they let streets opt out on a street by street basis (except for ‘artery’ streets like Hope which you still can’t park on overnight but tbh that’s also spotty enforcement). And supposed to keep landlords from blacktopping their yards / which also didn’t stop. So the old “guest parking” for 5x a month if you called the PD and have them a heads up disappeared but basically most of The east side voted no anyway and I also don’t think the city got as many people opting in for stickers as they thought (if I remember correctly) so it also wasn’t a big Money maker for the city. They should just allow on street sticker parking across the board. This opt out If you happen to live on the street ten+ years ago when they voted was BS.

My response was to the "they should be riding it on dirt" technically there is no dirt for them to ride on either. It's ineherently illegal for anyone to ride an ATV, what's interesting is up north and out west it's mostly white people riding them illegally and trespassing on others or state land and no one makes much of a fuss.
