Oh, speaking of DT, where do you guys and gals park? I was trying to park for 6-9, but the damn meters eats money like there's no tomorrow and it's in effect til 10.

Parking, let's see ...

If I can't park at a friends place of work & I can't snag one of the few unmetered spots (yes, they do exist), I just pay.

That said, if I have to be downtown during the day I just suck it up and pay at what ever parking lot is closest.

Where are you trying to be Solo?

The mystical 'free' spots are @#$%^&*()(*&^%$#@#$%&*() - send me a PM :P I don't want to make them super public knowledge

That said, there aren't many near where you're trying to be

BUT!: the new convention centre has more reasonable all day parking (as in a good amount less than $20/day)

*ahem*

This evening I got a speeding ticket. But here's the kicker: it was by radar just before 10pm. So it's completely dark and these 4 guys with flashlights walk out into the middle of the road in front of my car ... that's NUTS I tell you!

As I'm sitting there I'm thinking *damn, who ever came up with this idea (of radar at night and stepping out in front of 'speeding' cars w. only a flashlight) has got to be among the crazier people out there*

Anyhow, ticket for me ... damn it.

No, this was on the Barnet Hwy. (name says 'highway' and yet, apparently not highway speed limits there)

I'm not modified! (yet) ... but I have to say, the po-po don't seem terribly interested in just letting the M3 slide by, even if I'm not getting a ticket, I still seem to get pulled over to have a little talk.

Can you believe about a week or so ago there was a drive by shooting at the Value Village that's there? lol, like wtf.
