Sounds a lot like Churchill. Used to live a block away as a child and we made many a fortunes parking cars in our yard (front and back!!). Of course, the closer you were the more you could charge and we were pretty dang close so it wasn't unusual to charge $20 per car on Oaks and Derby days. RV's were a killing. Those guys would pay $200 to park in the alley behind our house. Guess there was really nowhere else to go...everytime I go back to Churchill now I always park across Central Ave in a lady's yard. I wouldn't have it any other way
