Yes, I was wrong for going over the meter. I was on a sales call and wouldn't have thought that I would have 1 been there for two frickin hours. 2 got a parking ticket at 9pm!
This town just spent a TONNE of cash redoing their downtown. It's a good place to go shopping and dining. On the check and included in the envelope was a note saying that it will be a long time before I will come to town to spend $$$
They will lose more in sales tax revenue from me. $20 $30 fine I'm sure that I wouldn't be bitter.
Santa Monica has meters that are 24 hours. After a 11 hour day I was going to eat for the first time in 10 hours I saw a meter maid reading the meter behind me at 8 pm I asked him when did they stop shaking down the cars parked on the street for parking tickets? He said "Christmas"
I drove over to Culver City for diner
