Inquiring Photographer: Thoughts on Double Parking

By DAVID GREENE
This week, we asked readers their thoughts on the age-old problem of double parking, the problems it can cause, as well as possible solutions.   “I see a lot of cops stop people from double parking because every time there’s double parking, it always causes a lot of traffic and people can’t get through.

By DAVID GREENE
This week, we asked readers their thoughts on 2022 and their hopes for the New Year.   “I did not feel safe in 2022 and I couldn’t enjoy my summer. A few people dear to me passed away. Despite the few accomplishments that we had, 2022 was filled with disappointments, empty promises, and uncertainty. I hope that in 2023 we can put an end to the reckless motorcycle and motorized bike riding on the sidewalk and the senseless loud noise coming from passenger cars and SUVs. My hopes are to raise awareness to the needs of our folks with disabilities,
