Never seen a meter maid? Wow.

When I first started at the newspaper, the printing press was on the 1st floor with large windows facing the street. Anytime a meter maid would go by and chalk the tires, a pressman would wait a couple minutes then run out and wipe the chalk marks off the tires of all the other pressmen's car tires with a rag. It was a long-standing tradition. I found it humorous, as the company provided parking 1/2 a block away for $50 a year. They were too cheap to spend 20 cents a day to park without worrying about parking tickets.

Wouldn't it cost more than $50/year to feed the parking meters?

Interestingly, the City on Monroe, Michigan (the closest large metropolitan city to us), removed all the parking meters. They did that because the meters were contributing adversely to people visiting and purchasing items and eating at beaneries in town. Now, all parking spaces on street are free. Don't know if it actually made a difference or not as we don't go there unless it's business.
