I like these new meters since I don't have to walk all the way back to the car to put more money in. This is great, because I usually park in the northern fringes of Downtown where the price is cheaper. I don't understand why the handicapped get to park for free, though.

I had to go downtown last week. I parked at the new meters, and the damn thing wouldn't take my change.

I usually pay the meter $3 for the Lightning games rather than the $10-20 at the parking lots nearby (what a rip off).

Really? I used the new ones twice back in December and they took my change. I was at Whiting/Tampa and Madison/Florida, for what it's worth.

The pay station I paid at was on Morgan St between Jackson and Washington. Luckily I had a debit card, so it worked out fine.
