Summer is remodeling season in Boston's Back Bay, as evidenced by this casually-placed hard hat in a tree.

Remodeling means construction, which means construction trucks taking parking places and other spaces being cordoned off for deliveries and pickups -- even the occasional double-parked enormous construction vehicle taking up more than its alloted half of the already-narrow Back Bay streets. Boston doesn't have that much on-street parking in the first place, so losing five or ten spaces on adjacent blocks has a knock-on effect for the entire neighborhood.

Fortunately, construction workers arrive early and knock off early, so if I can find a space initially, it holds me over for two hours when more spaces are free.
