Seems like there was some vigilante justice at the meters on Winthrop just south or Argyle yesterday. Somebody had spraypainted the glass on all the meters, and many of them had nails pressed into the coin slots.
ReplyDeleteIt is harder and harder to find a working meter. I would sooner move and find a working one then go through all the BS you have to go through to report it and contest it. I find alot where they look like they been super glued. The good old days are gone and this dam city is just going to get worse and worse........

Clue: if the screen is yellow the machine is dysfunctional. If green, there's still some time left; if red, feed the beast!
