David Merck, who was arrested for attacking actress Pauley Perrette in late 2015, has been released from a mental hospital (not from jail, as the poster below erroneously says).
Use CAUTION when walking!

Argyle Historic District
Parking Stickers

Picture
Picture
The aim of our new parking initiative is to free up parking spaces in the neighborhood that are being used for long-term storage of automobiles and other vehicles.

Click the flyer above to view and download our informational postcard outlining the initiative.

In addition, we have created stickers for Argyle area residents that will help distinguish their vehicles from vehicles from outside the neighborhood. The stickers are free and completely voluntary.
Argyle Avenue area residents can now receive free vinyl stickers from the Argyle Civic Association. These stickers are entirely voluntary but will help ACA and our neighbors recognize your vehicle as local to the neighborhood. We hope that this will help discourage outsiders (office workers, club-goers, theater patrons, etc.) from parking here.

Pick your FREE sticker up at our next meeting at Castle Argyle, or email parking@argylecivic.org
to make an email request to get a sticker.

PLEASE NOTE: Obtaining and using a sticker does not allow you to park in the No Parking zone on Upper Vine Street. The stickers are for vehicle identification only!
Argyle Civic Association Postcards
