Chicago Wants to Keep the Change

Submitted by Rosalie Bowman on October 17, 2007 - 12:29.

I'm really bummed to hear this and hope that the practice doesn't catch on in any more cities. In our small Pennsylvania city, I love to overpay the meter in hope that someone will be able to take advantage of the free parking after I vacate the spot. It's a small kindness, I know, but sometimes it's the little things that make a big difference in a person's day. Electronic meters would totally ruin that for me!
