There were signs that told you which side of the street to park on during a given night. It never was that big of a hassle. I would love to see that happen all over Philly. Every time I have friends visit here, they always comment about how dirty the city is. Even friends who have never visited have told me that they heard Philly was dirty. I hope that this Saturday clean-up isn't a flash in the pan. Sigh...

I wrote to Councilman DiCicco's office and asked why we never see any street sweepers in the neighborhood anymore. I was told that residents complained too much about having to move their cars. Unbelievable. I urge everybody to please complain about it, maybe they'll listen if enough people complain.
My parents neighborhood in the NE gets them every week. Even the worst streets in North Philly get street sweepers. I used to see them every week when I worked around the Strawberry Mansion area. You could drop a bomb in that neighborhood and no one would notice and even THEY get street cleanings.
