Hi Robert, Thanks for dropping in and checking out the blog. The new Patch look is so 'new' as I am…Read More still learning to navigate through. Just updated it and added the link to my film review. Thanks again. Cheers!
I am happy to know that Mr. Behan's review of "STID" is now available. Might we know…Read More where it is available? Perhaps I am just an Apple lovin' technopeasant, but despite my frantic serial clicking on text without links, I could not find the actual story. Alas and alack I may never know why there is no darkness in "...Into Darkness" (or Lightness). Oh, and welcome back Jim!
George, I think the meters are there to keep jurors from tying up all the parking not for revenue.…Read More Martinez needs a parking garage for jurors but it might be difficult to pass a bond for one. Thing is, the last time I got a jury summons for Martinez it said I could just put the summons notice on the dashboard and park at a meter without putting money in it and no ticket would be issued. Unfortunately the court house is probably both a boon and a bane for growth downtown.
Having to agree with Capt. Bebops & Barb. Glenn... Are parking meters (of any ilk) REALLY worth…Read More it? How much revenue do they really bring in vs. salary (and all the expenses associated) with meter collectors & police meter'maids', maintenance, repairs, initial costs of installation, and now with electronic versions, electrical and wiring issues, transmitting needs, data tracking and security requirements associated with credit card data collection and all of the liabilities that go along with fraud potential.
What better way to shoo off visitors to town than making you pay to stop. This town has so much potential, but sure has an odd sense of direction at times.
There are some of who don't lie to use our credit or debit cards for piddly amounts like paring…Read More meters. I mean really- who doesn't have a fistful of change rattling around in their pocket,purse or glovebox? I love that our neighbor Benicia doesn't have parking meters! Maybe we will have to do our shopping there~
