No. I chose the better option to ask him to move. It worked. Trusting my driving skills has nothing to do with the fact that it’s stupid to back out of a one-way onto a busy ass street.

I’m glad you’re with the truck driver in deciding to move.

I can let all of this go so long as this person wasn’t one of those horrible people that pulls in front of a building and double parks despite their being bountiful space 15 feet up. But the royalty MUST be a maximum of 5ft distance from their destination…

Obviously, he knows how you get it done. No delivery company big or small is going to bother following traffic laws and parking tickets are just the cost of doing business. UPS one year paid NYC over 30 million dollars in parking fines.

Can they be dicks about it? Absolutely. Is anything going to change? Unlikely, especially as the supply of legal street parking dwindles.

So you, in your smaller and more maneuverable vehicle, had the option to back out and flat out refused because you don’t trust your driving skills and ability to back into an intersection? I’m with the truck driver on this one. Learn how to drive already.

Reply to Lewis Ginter Garden Lights Fest ? by [deleted]

Much more walkable than Maymont - my father has mobility issues and he did great this year, while I would never consider taking him to Maymont. Lewis Ginter also has wheelchairs, those sit/stand walkers, and double strollers for rental on first come first serve basis. It’s a lovely event and a great night out. There are many places throughout the park to stop and rest for a moment, and two indoor buildings worth exploring (the main greenhouse with Christmas tree, and the library with a model train display). And the treehouse mentioned on this thread is closed for renovations anyway so don’t worry about that

Always NIMBYS. They think it will turn traffic into Atlanta or new York etc. People have been convinced this stuff is bad to them and will turn it into a gang territory.
