Dibs is a very Chicago tradition of ‘reserving’ a shoveled-out parking space after a heavy snowfall. Neighbors use everything from ironing boards and chairs to traditional traffic cones (likely pilfered from some city project) to claim their domain.
Since we’ve had a relatively light winter when it comes to snowfall and we’re all currently quarantined in our homes trying to #FlattenTheCurve of the recent coronavirus pandemic, the team at Big Teeth decided to workshop a few alternative applications of the Chicago Dibs. I was happy to help ’em out (don’t worry, these were shot pre-pandemic, we are all now safely quarantined and practicing social distancing!)
