I spent hours biking around St. Paul today, checking out the routes protests will take during RNC 2008, so I can record and report upon the once-in-a-lifetime spectacle with some degree of insight about the terrain. But along the way I noticed...

...this sign at the "Midway Center" strip mall, and I had to wonder: Who in city government makes sure cars are towed fairly vis-a-vis whether the parking lot warning signs are even READABLE? You can look at this piece of junk above and figure out the answer for St. Paul, Minnesota.

Nobody.
