Floral Park
as much as all of you may hate that small mile by a mile universe that contains a little over 15,000 residents your fate determines that you too will raise your abercrombie wearing children here. you will inevitably drive a mini van with a sticker that says lax on it. and you will plan block parties. you will smoke pot with your friends even when you are 50 in your backyard. you will let your kids drink with their friends in your basement because that's what your parents and your friends parents allowed for generations.you will go to the bars uptown no matter how old and grey you get. no matter where i go or who i encounter i realize there is no place like floral park. the people are distinctive from the rest of the long island jappy crowd. i consider myself lucky to be raised in such a sheltered community. granted the drugs and drinking are a tad insane i believe it is a great place to raise a child, and you should too! so dont make fun because you will end up there, probably in the same house you grew up in. i for one can't wait to drive around that boring town and see annette and all the locals, everywhere else changes, floral park doesnt.

Floral Park, is like no other place in the world. You'll learn to appreciate it.

Villa Park

Basically one of the most irrelevant town by one of the most relevant towns in Illinois (elmhurst). If you live here you most likely attend willowbrook high school and say your from Chicago when your out of state. Everyone thinks the town is ghetto but it’s a decent mix. Whether you are trying to pretend to be ghetto or a prissy rich teen you are welcomed here. There is a south and north side and if you live on the north side watch out you’re in the “ghetto”. As for the south you think you are a thousand times better than the north side

“Hey where are you from”
“I’m from Chicago”
“Wow really that’s cool”
“Well I actually live in villa park”
“What the hell is that”

Parking Inspector

A malevolent being that haunts parking lots. They are often found leaving their evil markings on the windshields of cars, claiming that their victims owe them money.

They are conjured by the dominion known as 'The Council' in secret satanic meetings.

Movie Parking

(Sometimes called TV Parking.) Not parking for the movies, but the kind of ridiculously easy parking a character in a movie gets when s/he pulls right up to his/her destination, zeroing in on a miraculously wide-open parking spot in what otherwise is an impossibly tight urban area.

During the 1950s and 1960s, in movies and on television, Doris Day got such a rep for manifesting that lucky talent that a spin-off term was coined; see "Doris Day Parking." Generally Ms. Day's roles had her piloting sensible domestic sedans and station wagons, a visual metaphor for her competence, efficiency, self-reliance and ability to live without a man. By way of contrast, the neurotic characters Tony Randall portrayed often struggled with temperamental British roadsters, and Rock Hudson played dissolute types who poured themselves into a taxi -- hungover, drunk, in a hurry, or all three.

Times did change -- a little. On "The Doris Day Show," CBS-TV's' late 1960s career-girl sitcom and vehicle (no pun intended) for Ms. Day, her character drove a 1969 Dodge Charger. A red convertible Charger, on a legal secretary's salary. Modernity notwithstanding, Doris never seemed to have much trouble finding instant parking. In San Francisco. Business-district and high-rise parts of San Francisco. In all fairness, though, the opening credits included a very brief shot of her on the California Avenue cable car.

In 1985 writer-director-male lead Albert Brooks, playing opposite Julie Hagerty in the film comedy LOST IN AMERICA, saw a movie convention ripe for satire. The lead couple, having had all kinds of bad luck in the Heartland, moves to New York City to find new careers. As the soundtrack blares Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York," their car, shown in exteme high shot, dives (no backing) right into a perfectly sized parking space dead center in front of a white high-rise office building in Midtown Manhattan. This knowing send-up of, and homage to the Movie Parking convention (which fit the plot perfectly) never fails to draw howls from the audience.

"Man, we were so lucky. TV parking in front of the building; the FedEx van had just pulled away."

"You want to see Movie Parking at its finest? Alfred Hitchcock's VERTIGO from 1957. Jimmy Stewart, Kim Novak, Barbara bel Geddes, all drove right up to Jimmy's apartment building, and it seemed to be the same spot perpetually open and waiting for them. Diagonal parking stalls, no less, or as you Midwesterners like to call it, angle parking."
