Ahmad's Blog

In response to Ahmad's blog about parking meters, I didn't think about the numbers of parking meters on the Sazouthside being less than the number on the Northside. It sort of makes sense though because more attractions are located on the Northside rather than the Southside. This did bring up my memory of an article in the Red Eye about parking meters and towing vehicles. Last year the city of Chicago collected about 200 million dollars in fees and tickets (estimate; I don't really know but it's up there). With all that money you would think they won't be such a stickler when someone goes past their meter by a few minutes.
