If you worked hard to shovel a parking spot in Philly or to find one that wasn’t entombed in snow and ice, are you entitled to it? That’s the eternal question of the “Savesies” debate — ie, the practice of putting an object like a chair or cone in a spot to save it. The debate has never been hotter — actually colder — than right now in South Philly. It’s like the wild, wild west — a frozen frontier where many streets still aren’t plowed.

These groups had…
