The personal touch on a Roslindale street

Aside from the whole entitlement thing, I'm left wondering what this small thing (maybe 18 inches high) is normally used for. Dual Tinker Toys holder?

What it's for
I'm fairly confident that that's a dog dish holder. If it's 18 inches high, it's for a pretty big dog!
Could've been less
I'm not very good with the guestimates.
Yup
That's my guess too. I used to have one for my dog. It help older dogs eat without having to bend over.
Parking Savers
It's not just for Southie anymore!

The special snowflakes at 562 South Street, Roslindale, MA aka "Cherubin Construction", apparently do not understand that the street is city property, not "personal".
I like to think of it...
...as a training potty for twins. Just add bowls.
That much snow?
I wish you had included a picture that showed how much snow was on that street - most places I've been in that neighborhood had plenty of parking the last few days. There wasn't that much snow.
It wasn't a lot
And the people at Imperial Kitchen in Roslindale Square should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for spending all of 15 seconds digging out a roughly two-foot-wide path on what is probably the absolutely busiest corner in all of Roslindale.
In any case, didn't look like South Street got any more snow than we did by the golf course - which, like you said, was not a whole lot, relatively speaking.
If you ignore the note and
If you ignore the note and park there anyway, will you come back to find a polite note explaining why your car's paint job got ruined while your car was there?
Or you could simply park on
Or you could simply park on top of it...wouldn't necessarily violate the resident's plea:
"I didn't move the object, and I did use the space for personal parking."
Shape sorter?
For a very large, very simple giant child or baby elephant?
Don't you have to shovel the
Don't you have to shovel the space before yuo can claim it?

Parking spot markers
Around the corner from me, someone has a walker in their parking spot with a piece of paper taped to it that says, "Medical need."
Silly
That made me laugh. Maybe they put it out & went away for a few days or something, because now it just looks silly there - it's certainly not needed to save a space.
South St. Parking
That is pretty sad on an unshoveled space. I live on that strectch of South St with a luxurious driveway but I hear from the neighbors that parking has become a very contentious issue. Several of the neighbors are in a protracted argument with the City over curb cuts and street cleaning tickets on both sides of the street.
