I have started trying to keep up with the news in Lancaster by reading their online news page, Lancaster Online. Today they had an article that said they will be unveiling new parking meters throughout downtown that allow you to pay by cash OR credit card OR a prepaid parking card that keeps a balance on it. I don't know about you, but I think that's neat! All I have ever seen on the streets of Houston's downtown are the archaic parking meters that ask you to pay by coins. I curse this system when I have to park in Northgate for my Starbuck's run and I never have any coins to pay for my 5 minute parking need. I had already started twiddling my thumbs about my coin stash I would need in Lancaster for my weekly run to Central Market in downtown for my fruits and veggies. Now, if I get one of these coveted new spots, I can stay as long as I want to in downtown and just pay with a card instead of a bunch of quarters. I love useful technology!
