New parking lot at the Mall of America

[ewelin]

With the high rate of attacks on women in secluded parking lots this past fall, especially during evening hours, the Minneapolis City Council has established a "Women Only" parking lot at the Mall of America. Even the parking lot attendants are exclusively female so that a comfortable and safe environment is created for patrons.

Below is the first picture available of this world-first women-only parking lot in Minnesota.

I have no response, none at all. Not after what I did last summer to our truck. D'oh! Who the heck puts fire hydrants on a sidewalk anyway?

But even after $6,000 worth of damage/repairs, my insurance step is STILL lower than ewelin's *and* I don't have to drive like an old lady to keep it that way, lol.

Gee Melissa I thought I did a good job on the wifes truck (GMC 2500 HD extended cab) last weekend by folding the half door back into the side of the truck... But you got me beat by a long shot getting the whole side of the truck... Well that is what insurance is for LOL...

my dad always said if something is worth doing, it's worth doing right, lmao.

It's all better now though...it's actually better than before since the neighbor's kids had scratched that side of the truck with their bikes last summer.

Yeah she really did a number on the truck... But it's just a truck... and it can be fixed... she's usually a good driver though :-P She puts my lead foot to shame sometimes. I am trying to keep it reasonable though. Gotta try and get my step level down so our insurance can drop a little more. Living in Cambridge doesn't provide you with the nicest insurance rates :-(

yeah i bet insurance must be steep i know its easier said than done but slow down now while you have the chance otherwise you might be moving at the speed of two feet like i ll be doing for the next few years

[ewelin]

yeah they kill us in this area. that's why i've slowed it down.... Used to not care when I was still in college cause my rates were for living in NoWheresVille NH.... now that i'm down here it's killing us.
