I had no clue, either. Dang. I can't believe everyone knows that this is a "signal" and I am totally clueless. I am now wondering how many times hubby and I have backed into parking spaces at rest areas while traveling, lol.

I thought exactly the same thing about backing into a parking spot which I regularly do. Funnily enough this morning I came out of my house and my husband had backed in as he had his bike rack on the back and didn't want anyone to see it but I did have a bit of a chuckle

It's kind of sad. Regardless of gay or straight, it bothers me that this type of thing is going on at places where our children play.

We go there often and the innocence of taking my toddler is now tarnished.

Is this the park near Park Rd. and Tyvola? I had no idea it was sketchy. Any newspaper stories or something about it? I live about 1 mile from there.

  • Volleyball court

  • Walking trails
122 acres

  • 8 basketball courts

It's not really any "sketchier" than other parks around Charlotte. Sadly this gay meetup stuff happens in MANY of our parks around the city. A couple of summers ago police did a few sting operations and came up with perps in every park they worked. Park Rd Park is not dangerous, though as a woman I'd hesitate to frequent large parks like that alone unless the park were very busy, like on Sundays
