I looked at Google Streetview, and it appears that the painted sign is from the early 2010s. For a second I thought the artwork included depictions of several people standing on a beach, but those turned out to be areas where the paint has fallen away.

Mambo is also the name of a famous men's cologne by Liz Claiborne. You could buy some at Walmart and wear it to dinner.

Even the tiniest car on the road still gets boxed in when parallel parked in Philly.

Parking this thing takes some getting used to; I blame this on the Equinox’s massive turning radius. It’s over 40 feet, which is by far the worst within this competitive set. Don’t even bother opting for the 19 inch wheels; those suckers will give you a 42.6 feet turning radius, nearly the same needed to turn no less than a Chevy Suburban!
