parking meters

Meter parking flat out sucks, in many parts of Albany at least during the day there is no way around it. Thankfully a new way to deal with it is coming Monday.

How many times has this happened to you?  You are driving down a street, late for an appointment and looking for a parking space, when suddenly you see a spot.  You quickly parallel park and notice there is a parking meter that only takes quarters with 5 minutes left on it.
