Send photos of parking-space savers

It's a time-honored tradition in Boston. You dig out a parking space, you keep it. Some people hold on to it indefinitely. But in order to keep it, you need something to hold it for you. Folding chairs, garbage barrels, orange traffic cones -- all of these things serve a purpose on the streets after a snowstorm hits.
