One traffic ticket is bad enough.

Imagine having dozens of them. A car parked on Post near Main is literally covered in parking tickets, but they aren’t real.

“It’s extraordinary,” said Eastern Washington University art Professor Tom Askman. “There is nothing ordinary about walking down the street and seeing a car covered in parking tickets.”

And that’s the point. The car is part of installation created by Askman’s Alternative Media class. Eli Francovich, SR
