WATCHING CARS
THIS INFORMANT THOUGHT THAT THIS ITEM ESPECIALLY SHOULD BE
RECORDED AS FOLKLORE. IT HAS LONG BEEN AN ESTABLISHED CUSTOM
WHEN PARKING IN THE AREA OF BRIGGS (NOW TIGER) STADIUM TO GIVE
THE BOYS IN THE AREA 25 CENTS OR MORE WHEN THEY ASK FOR IT,
OTHERWISE YOU MAY COME BACK TO A CAR WITH 4 FLAT TIRES OR NO
HUBCAPS OR ANY ONE OF A NUMBER OF THINGS. THIS IS A COMMON
PRACTICE, EVEN THOUGH THERE MAY NOT BE A PAY PARKING LOT FOR
BLOCKS!
