Last night we were in our living room when we heard some commotion outside. We looked out our apartment's rear window to see quite the dramatic parking space squabble in progress.
It seems two cars happened upon the same space at roughly the same time. Each felt a perfect claim to the spot, and each dug in their heels.
One was a silver minivan with an Asian couple. The other a cherry red Land Rover with two African American girlfriends. The best part was that each car's passenger walked out to stand as a human road block in front of the other car.
A perfect stalemate. With nothing but pride and concrete hanging in the balance. Asian vs. Black, Minivan vs. SUV. Not that their races or car types had anything to do with the fight. But I could almost see the Daily News article unfolding before my eyes.
There was lot of yelling and some awesome dissing body language, but it never did come to blows or anything truly newsworthy. So my dream of retiring from a photo journalistic windfall still lives on.
One side gave up before the cops came. Can you guess which one?
