A Sign of the Times


It's hard to believe that our neighborhood has developed one more trait of a big metropolitan city-no street parking. With all of our new nearby high rises besides all of the new trading business that these buildings bring with them, street parking is a premium. So what has happened is that our leisure system of at-will parking for our "old apartment" site is now being sucked-up by the new neighborhood foreigners. Therefore during our time away this spring, our apartment car owners went together to come up with a system whereby to save their precious parking places. In the picture you are to notice the "parking arm" that is activated by the "special" key that only is available to our building car owners.

Tirana should take some lessons from bicycle-friendly countries and make incentives to encourage bicycle and pedi-cab traffic instead of automobiles.
I've wondered about the sustainability of opening a bike shop to these ends.
