ETA: Oh Devany, man are you correct on Chicago... more important was that fact that you could lose your car for animal violations (where else but Chicago?)
PLUS only Chicago has the "Lincoln Park Towing Co," aka the "Lincoln Park Pirates". Anyone who gets towed from them has a new respect for reading any & every sign....and obeying the law!
