So a couple days ago I posted about how the city was going to reseal the street in front of my house. No street parking for a day, and the street was slated to be closed from 6 to 6.

So there's one house three blocks down that's a bit odd. They have a POD out front. Like as if they were moving. But they're not. They've been renovating their front yard. So I thought maybe they were storing gardening tools and supplies there. But while walking by one day I noted through the open POD doors that they've also got bikes, ski equipment, etc in there. So it's kinda morphed into garage-type storage.

But the POD's been there for about 4 months now. In the street in front of their house. (And don't get me started on the little platform he's assembled in the small tree in that little strip of grass (which technically is public property) between the sidewalk and the road. I've seen the guy reading a book and taking a nap in the treefort he's built. A few weeks ago an industrial-sized roll-on trash bin has taken up the remaining space in the street in front of the house.

So they resealed the entire street yesterday for three blocks...except for the patch right in front of this guy's house, as the POD and dumpster made that part of the asphalt inaccessible. So while the entire street is now a nice uniform black, there's an area along the curb in front of this one house that's the old grey asphalt (of slightly lower height than the rest of the resurfaced street). At some point (I presume) this guy's going to get rid of the POD and trash dumpster. And the patch of street in front of his house is going to look out of sync with the rest of the road.
