snowchairs:

“Project Snow Chairs” will be hosted by the Rogers Park / West Ridge Historical Society on Saturday morning (2/11) at 10:30. I will be presenting my historical/cultural study of the dibs system from last winter followed by Q & A / general discussion. For more information check out: http://www.rpwrhs.org/. The RPWR Historical Society is located the intersection of Morse and Greenview (1447 W. Morse) just 1 block West of the Morse Redline stop.

Come on out, it should be a good time, even if there is no snow on the ground or chairs in the street.

The Chicago Dibs Tumblr is sad to have missed this. Hope the event was a success!

I … AM…. IRON MAN DIBS

Hipstamatic Dibs! 

I know it’s not Chicago, or snowy for that matter, but I’ve been following this blog for as long as it’s been around and I had never seen anything like it in New York… until five minutes ago.

Temporary Services - Public Phenomena: Even though snow has been very light in Chicago so far this Winter, that hasn’t prevented people from claiming parking spaces. Here is a combination of a broken child’s chair and a child sized mini pallet. Documentation of other urban interventions can be found in our Public Phenomena books from 2008 and 2005.

You can’t argue with a classic dibs

Why limit Dibs to just parking spaces you shoveled out?

Pat Tomasulo offers a few ways to improve the system.

Winter storm warning!

More snow is on the way, so it’s open season for Dibs. Keep your cameras ready and remember submit your Dibs pics here.
