Techno-parking

Parked downtown lately? If not, depending on where you park, this is what you may encounter. Parking spaces in a number of locations are all serviced by a common pay-box such as this. A lot of people hardly ever have “real” money with them anymore, only plastic, which means they never have change, especially in a quantity enough to feed the meter for a while. All you need to do is key-in the

You’ve got to look good at your own party. Only 133 days to go.
