“Cuz We Need a Little Christmas, Right This Very Minute…”
There was an article in the Boston Globe yesterday about how parking spaces in the city of Boston are now going for $250,000. Not garages….but a single parking space. In fact, one spot located behind the Ritz-Carlton (soon to be Taj Boston), is not even a garage space…it’s outside!
If it costs $250,000 for a single parking space, how the hell am I to afford an actual inhabitable space with basic amenities such as a roof, walls and running water?
After reading about that, I needed to cheer myself up so I took some close-up photos of my Christmas Tree. Here they are:
First, an overview of the entire tree (and Santa seated on the trunk next to the tree)
Here’s a glass (Christopher Radko) floral heart and a Hello Kitty character
Here’s Frosty and a 1970’s-inspired smiley face
Ah, Paris
I don’t know what the hell this is. Some lady with grapes for a body?
Here’s my pornament (notice where the carrot is)
The pink poodle in a dress is one of my latest aquisitions ($1 in Ptown!)
And finally, the Provincetown Monument
Yep, I feel much better now. I’ve completely forgotten that I can’t even afford to own a parking space (let alone the actual car to put in a parking space).

$250k?!? I guess I could live in my car while parked in my space. Love the photos… looks like someone is ready for the holidays.
Wow.. I had never heard of selling Parking spaces before (I’m in the country sort of). 250,000??? Yikes.
Those pictures are beautiful, put me right in the spirit.

I think spaces in the Brimmer Street Garage (always the most infamous pricewise – Beacon Hill’s grandest) topped $300K last year, if not before…but that’s indoors, in a tony neighborhood, with guys who will bring you your car…but I’m sure there’s a maintenance fee atop all that, not to mention holiday tipping, etc…JEEZ!
This is why I’m planning to move to Providence – $250K is my utter limit, but there it buys a two or three-family in a seedyish but not ghastly area, in at least bearable condition…
Pornament! Sweet, Karl.
And sorry you won’t be seeing our tree this year? 🙁 . . . but hey! the reason for not seeing it will be well worth it.
Oh! And you should know that I H-A-T-E Hello Kitty!! 🙂
