Menlo Park

I live in menlo park, which is like halfway between san jose and san francisco. Its a really small town; the downtown consists of about 20 oriental rug stores and pretty much only takes up half a street. But...the thing that i hate most about menlo park is that it is illegal to park on the street in front of my house overnight. Seriously, everyone in my family has gotten at least one 35 dollar ticket. And if we drive 30 feet from our house and park up the street, we don't get a ticket. It has something to do with the zoning laws I guess. Oh, and I've played soccer since i was five, i'm on the team here and in the spring everyone should come out to see our games because we're ranked fourth in the nation!
