We know that parking can be rough, but isn't this why everyone and their mother have parking placards? A tipster sent us the above photo, taken around 5:12 p.m. yesterday at West 72nd and Columbus on the Upper West Side. The road looks particularly warped in this picture, as though the DOT has been working on potholes recently. It's an intersection at which we've routinely seen cars speed down like quicksilver—but we've been told on good authority that on the plus side, the firefighters in the neighborhood are "hot." As always, if you see any accidents or strange sights, email us pictures at [email protected], or tag them as "gothamist" on Flickr.
