The Visitor Parking Pass

I really miss our two car garage and driveway with enough space for two more cars. We never had to think about or worry about finding a place to park when we lived in Milwaukee. Since moving to DC, we no longer have a garage, or even a slab to put the car. It's all street parking around here. You need to get residential parking stickers, but also visitor parking passes to hand out to guests if they dare to come visit you in the neighborhood. On holidays it's a lot easier because there are no restrictions and usually more space available. It seems like we just made this request a couple months ago. The parking passes expire at the end of the month, but technically they were outdated in September. But an extension was granted because the system wasn't ready to handle the new batch. So last month we requested our visitor parking pass and it arrived in the mail this week. There are several restrictions noted on the back of the permit. Gee, do you think anyone reads the fine print? It also comes with a map so you know exactly where it can be used. The neighborhood is deserted now for the holidays and finding a space is not as difficult. But as long as we live here we will need to continue updating our passes, and permits, and whatever else is required. It's really not that bad, just a bit annoying.
