You know it's a small town
You know it's a small town when someone makes the news for turning themselves in because a warrant was issued for parking facing the wrong way.
If it's in the police
If it's in the police blotter, we publish it, no matter how trivial.
The fact that an arrest warrant was issued for this and the person turned himself in is one of the reasons we love Batavia. In a big city like San Diego, they might handle it differently and so might the mighty members of its Fourth Estate.
Yeah, I'm a little confused
Yeah, I'm a little confused about the (alleged) parking facing the wrong way. Was
Mr. Goodwin facing the wrong way, or was the car? Maybe he should've been
driving one of the newer VW Bugs, or, better yet, a 1950 or '51 Studebaker. Those
2 years of 'Studeys' were widely known for styling that led people to ask, "which
way is that car going?" The cops would probably still be staring at it, while
scratching their heads.
This reminds me of a (kind of) funny story. A friend of mine from Rochester owns
two 1924 Fords. The really "good" one is driven @ 50-70 miles per year. He keeps
it licensed & insured, but only has it inspected every 3-4 years. Well, needless to
say, everybody notices it coming down the street, including the cops. And, because
they're so observant, there's usually one or two who notice the inspection sticker is
outdated, and he gets pulled over. After looking the "tin lizzie' over, they always
give him a warning that he needs to get it inspected, then follow my friend back
home, driving behind him with their flashers going (at 15-20 mph). 20+ years of no
tickets, but PLENTY of warnings.
Now, normally, he has the same garage inspect it. One year, the garage owner
was so busy, he said he couldn't get to it very soon, and recommended a garage
down the street. So my friend took it down there. They had a young guy (my friend
said he was probably just out of high school) inspect it. When he was done, he told
my friend that everything was OK, except he couldn't find the 'parking' (emergency)
brake. My friend told him it was behind the drivers' seat. The kid went and looked,
then came back and said he didn't see it. My friend told him it was there when he
left the house, so the kid went back, looked again, and came back and said, "There's
nothing behind the seat but a brick". My friend told him, "That's IT!! Son, that's a
1924 Ford. There is no "emergency" brake. When I park it, I put the brick under
one of the wheels, and it hasn't failed me yet".
Sometimes, 'ya just gotta laugh!
