When I turned the corner on foot, with two chairs already under my arms, I found that there was an empty space on the corner of 23rd and Kearney, across the street and a block closer to my apartment. I decided to repark the car there, to save myself carrying the remaining two chairs the extra block and a half, but I&#8217;m not even sure it was worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, it would have been better not to bother looking for parking the first time, and to look longer the second time.
