Dead Meter Cap
Portland, OR - ea - Friday, May 20th, 2005 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
the city of portland has gone about replacing all the old coin operated parking meters with electronic ones. the new ones are only one per block, not one per parking space...and they take credit cards...and they've eliminated the capacity to feed other people's meters or snag time on a meter still running. so the old ones have been pulled out, leaving 4" circular scars up and down the sidewalks downtown. and someone has taken this opportunity to paint tiny portraits
$1 / hour, sigh...

at first I was like "1$/hour?! geez!" then i thought... here in nyc its 25 cents/15 minutes... which equals $1/hour... doh!
cars are expensive. thats why i ride my bike as much as possible- it can be parked almost anywhere :)

Yeah, for now. Wait till some meat-headed bureaucrat starts seeing dollar signs in your spokes.
Peter: 20th May 2005 - 14:55 GMT
heh, totally. i did get two $100 tickets for runnign two red-lights on my bike once. which is ludicrous, as to do the same in a car would only rack up $45 each. hmm!

haha my dad's received two 'moving violations' on his bike too - for failing to stop at stop signs in residential neighborhoods - gah!
I saw another meter cap character that was blue, and I dont think it was TV Head, but I canNOT remember where. I've been walking with my head down the last couple weeks trying to find him.
kobe: cycling tickets? what has america come to?
Peter: weird... i wonder what thats measuring?
ea: 8th Sep 2005 - 17:06 GMT
I wondered that for a couple months too, but you dont have to wait so long

That's what I figured it would be. Way to go on cheap advertising. You know people go in search just to find out what the image is all about.
