Neighbors: No parking zones outside Chicago DNC perimeter are unpleasant surprise

It was the first indication they had that they'd lose their street parking to the DNC.
When Lucky Sharma heads to his car Wednesday morning, it is a farther walk than normal—because he needs to move his car after these signs popped up on his street. His car is going to have to be parked at a friend's place.'I'm going there right now, just to park my car,' he said.Sharma is a student and can't afford private parking, a parking ticket, or a tow.Angie Stefanovic said the parking restrictions mean she won't see her boyfriend until after the DNC.
