Outsmarted by a parking meter

January
24

I was in downtown Nyack, checking out the new multi-space municipal meters. I wanted to see what was up in the latest chapter of the Nyack parking saga.

It was easy. I plop in a couple quarters and viola, my little time-stamped piece of paper appears. Then, I look at the slip and see that it reads: 12:05. But it’s only 9:30 in the morning! DUH! The meters kick in at 11 a.m.—oh, I knew that!

The muni meter gave me the hour, plus a 5-minute grace period. So, I got outsmarted by a parking meter! All in the name of research, I might add.
