Wow! Parking in New York is THIS bad?

A woman photographs the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee as it moves up the side of a 30-story skyscraper in New York, Thursday, Oct. 21, 2004, to showcase its performance, style and off-road capability. The event kicked-off the arrival of the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee at dealerships nationwide this weekend. (AP Photo/Diane Bondareff, DaimlerChrysler)

And I hear we now can park on the field in Yankee stadium, cause you know, it's not like they're using it anytime soon.

8. Not usually

but... the NYPD does a pretty good job of neutralizing the area around the Stadium on game day. Also, don't discount the fact that the courthouse and borough administration building are a block away.

9. I was just kidding

I love the Bronx. I have a cousin who lives in Riverdale, a really nice section of the Bronx, overlooking the Hudson.

11. I wasn't :)

I grew up in the Bronx (Co-Op City), although I moved out of the state 9 years ago. The Bronx has a bad reputation, most of it well-deserved, although it's not nearly as bad as it once was.
