Step 8Post your "No Parking" signs
It's a couple of days before your party. You've got a full list of attendees, organized a potluck worthy of the gods, and ordered that keg. For the safety and enjoyment of everyone at the party, it's time to post those "No Parking" signs.
Be sure to hang the signs in advance of the party, so car owners on the block have ample opportunity to move their vehicles.
In Chicago, Arnold -- and anyone else throwing a block party -- has the right to call the police and have cars towed if drivers do not move them off the street for the party. He says he and his neighbors choose not to do so. Though the party is much more fun -- not to mention safe -- when the kids can run in the street and the Jumpy Jack has space to breathe, Arnold believes it would cause more harm than good to tow his fellow neighbors. He is not, he says, above giving them the evil eye when they get in their cars and drive off through the crowd in the middle of the party.
