so you just put a * but didn't actually make the correction? haha. I'm used to the * showing a correction!

if your autocorrect changed it to "its", it was actually correct :) you meant "change its name".

It's is only a contraction for "it is" or "it has", no other meaning. Just like we don't say "her's" even though that can be what hers means

So it is your genuine reading of that rule that someone can leave for 1 second and then come back because that falls within your dictionary-words-only reading of the policy? Or is there a chance that, in general, policies require the smallest amount of interpretation to see how it would make sense in the real world? Or are you just being a contrarian for fun? If not one second, how long? How can you determine that with it not being written in the policy? With the complete lack of guidance about "how long you're allowed to be away", only "per day" makes sense. There is no other way to read it.

There is a real chance you're the only person who does not think the 'per day' isn't the only possible implication from that sign. Otherwise, there'd have to be so many other rules about "how long can you leave until you're allowed to park again?". Sooo complicated that there is, truly and surely, no way to enforce it (or communicate it on a little sign).

The way you understand the sign without 'per day' means that it's good for someone to leave and come back again... for how long do they have to leave? How would the sign communicate that? How lucky would the person have to be that the scanner comes the exact point and time that they were gone to register they left and came back? It's so spooky and messy that there's no way that that could be the way that it works, so (nearly) everyone recognizes that must not be the way that it works.

That there would be no feasible way to enforce anything but a "per day" rule I guess helps with the implication, at least. (It also does not state that it's referring to the street and not about parking mid-air, for instance)

Interesting! I have lived here for 34 years and just about everyone I've ever met is absolutely obsessed with all these places. Chengdu Gourmet was our only James Beard Award winner for a long time. Gourmandine is just about our only serious French bakery. Page's is why there's a permanent 30 person line dangerously dangling out into the fastest part of East Carson Street (maybe you pass it on the way to the Waterfront?) every summer. I've been to all 3 in the past month. Every spring all my friends and family are asking each other, "Did you go to Page's yet?! It's open!"

It should since that would be parking over 2 hours in the U zone in one day between 11-6, which is against the rules according to this sign.

People outside of the Old South find that a lock on the house door does well enough.

I see on Google Trends that it is extremely regional to the D.C. area (and Maryland), just funny to make such a Pittsburghy post featuring such a regional word from somewhere else. (PA got a 'search interest rating' of 12)

I overheard the owner saying they make more profit on their "wine-bar-only" nights than dinner nights for, like, 1% of the work. Eek!

Do people in Pittsburgh say "glizzy"?

You're the first person to say "autoknives" on the entire internet haha, had no idea what you meant until the other comments (the brand name isn't coming up I guess since the website styles it as "Auto Knives")
