The Tie

There’s a tie hanging in a padlocked parking attendant’s booth. It’s a cheap black tie with a collapsed half-Windsor knot still tied in it, the stretched-out loop hung over a hook. It’s been there for months, ever since the parking lot was transitioned from an attended lot to a self-service lot. Did the last attendant leave it behind after his final shift, or does the tie come with the booth?

    Thanks, Tom. It’s at Western Avenue and University, across from the Harbor Steps.
