lon cher/ n. In summer, a peaceful place to rest and enjoy the moment, whether at the beach, a park, on a porch or in the backyard. In winter, an imposing marker of one's parking turf, a sign of a previous battle against a harsh onslaught of snow, a warning not even to think about taking that parking spot. "If someone spends all their time digging their car out, do NOT drive into that spot," Mayor Daley said in 2000. "This is Chicago. Fair warning, no way!"
