Thou Shalt Not Park Here

No Parking Sign, Hassell St., Charleston, S.C.
I don't think they want you to park at the Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim Synagog on Hassell St. Not only that but they really don't want you taking pictures of the area either.

The gate was open to the parking alley as I walked by and the sign made me grin and reach for my camera. In an instant a police officer and temple member were on either side of me asking what I was taking pictures of. When I explained that their parking sign was fun they looked relieved and waved me on. It is a good addition to my No Parking series.

  1. LOL. What did they *think* you were taking photos of? I wasn't aware we are hiding State Secrets on Hassell Street... ;-)

  2. Wonder if that was state sanctioned?

  3. I think temples usually have police serving as security when they are open. They are always on alert for any kind of trouble or vandalism. I put on my very innocent look.

  4. You should have flashed the "press pass" I gave you.

    1. Ha! Not sure if that would have made them feel better!

    Joan, we've got Dogwoods blossoming up here. Crazy.
    BTW where did the "No Parking" shot go?

    1. It was just down their alley to their parking area I think. They usually have the gate locked.

  6. That 'thou shalt not park here' sign is very appropriate for that religious structure. Whoever came up with that signage is very creative. I love it!
