Parking rage on Railroad Street

Three guys in a white Jeep tried to beat up a guy in a blue Subaru over a parking space in front of SoCo.

Great Barrington – Yes, we know Railroad Street is a mess as sidewalks and curbs are reconstructed. And on this Memorial Day weekend the street is crowded with tourists. And it’s warm. And it would be great to get an ice cream from SoCo. But still, get a grip.

This just in from an observer who caught the episode on film.

“Three guys in white Jeep punched repeatedly a man in blue Subaru Forester with a kid in the back who they thought was blocking traffic and not letting them park – his daughter was in the back crying.”

Police had to come to break up the assault.

Tempers flaring in the Best Small Town in America.

Meanwhile, at the top of Railroad Street there was ample parking, as indicated by photo below.

Meanwhile, there’s an empty parking lot empty at the top of Railroad Street, a short walk to Main Street. Only for residents of 47 Railroad St, however.
