This piece is set in Albany Park, a working-class neighborhood on the Northwest Side of Chicago. During Chicago winters, residents follow an unwritten social code called “dibs.” After heavy snowfall, whoever takes the time to shovel out a parking space claims it as their own. People mark these spaces with chairs, cones, crates—anything that says: this spot was earned.

“Dibs” is more than parking etiquette. It reflects labor, survival, and territorial respect in a city shaped by harsh winters and dense neighborhoods. The idea parallels the life of pigeons in the city—claiming space, adapting to difficult environments, and defending small pieces of ground in an unforgiving landscape.
