Citizens of Minneapolis rejoice! [The winter parking ban has been removed,](http://www.startribune.com/viewers/qview/cgi/qview.cgi?template=metro_a_cache&slug=ban23) like the black cloud of winter! No more crowding all the cars onto odd sides of the streets! No more walking 3 blocks to your home! The dark reign of the parking ban has come to and end! ---

Which old parking ban? The wicked parking ban! As a St. Paul resident, I have not felt the pain of the Mpls ban, but I will sing rejoices with you. Now if they could just get the 6 inches of ice off my sidewalks…
