Don't do it on St George Street (the best place to do it) because you may be arrested! Unless of course you refuse any tips, then you might just be questioned!

Honestly, it makes me mad what they are doing in this town. They built this huge parking garage. Ugly. City commissioners just voted to eliminate free parking downtown and to triple the rate at the meters to $1.50 an hour, to encourage people to use the parking garage and shuttles.

What about employess who work downtown for minimun wage? They are going to park and take a shuttle in now? What about musicians who have to load in equipment? $1.50 an hour! I'm just bummed. No doubt the lots that are now charging 6 bucks a day will soon up it to ten.

Makes me glad I am working a lot elsewhere these days. And thats sad. The city still has a lot of charm. They are just trying to make it hard for the locals to go to.
