Welcome Back, Dibs!

We took a leisurely stroll around the wunnerful Bridgeport area to see if anyone had started the time honored practice of bringing their garbage to the street in order to secure their parking spot. We managed to find three locations in a six-block radius, and the last shot in this gallery, found on Twitter, shows someone who was already claiming dibs in the 50-degree weather.

Just because it's January doesn't meant you can claim dibs unless you're shoveling your spot out. Anyway, let the parade of trash to the streets begin.
