I live next to Plymouth, Massachusetts which is a tourist town in the summer. In the winter, however, we're all still here living out our lives.
Until this year, the town of Plymouth used to take all of the parking meters away from appx. November to April. This was wonderful because it meant that parking anywhere downtown was free for the people who live here in the winter.
This past fall, however, they yanked the meters out and put in a system where every block/lot has a single electronic kiosk from which you must buy a ticket to place in your window. They outsourced the maintenance and enforcement of this to a private company. Parking is no longer free in the winter.

Darrell Martini will always be my Cosmic Muffin as well.
Too bad it's in Stockholm.

Talk about a stupid idea.
