The thing about alternate side parking is that you miss a lot of stuff when you drive by. So when the cars move to the other side of the street on the next day you get some gems. Here is a very cool looking hitching post. It is not that old, what is next to it is. This is an Upping Stone, it was used to assist people in and out of carriages and up and down on horses. This is made of sandstone and is on Park St. in Allentown.
