Yes, a parking sticker. A minor item for the Museum, but parking is a big issue for the community. Recently we added some stickers from 1990 to 2005 to the collections. A gift in memory of Helen Nitschke (once lived at 1242 Garden) by Laurette Whittle. It is remarkable that they even exist as those who have used them know how difficult it is peel them off, nevermind keeping them intact. Just a very small piece of ephemera that can be useful in imparting to future residents how parking control was dealt with in our time. Will these stickers soon disappear from view along with coin meters that are now gone? See this small group in our online catalog, keyword: 2015.007.0001
