Wah Wah Wah!
They're installing parking pay boxes on the south side. Guess who's unhappy?
A South Side alderman is blasting the Chicago Park District over its moves to put parking meter “pay and display” boxes in South Side parks and other facilities.
5th Ward Alderman Leslie Hairston says some residents in her area were upset when they saw pay and display parking meter boxes being installed in the park near the Museum of Science and Industry, the South Shore Cultural Center and even near some basketball courts.
Chicago Park District Spokeswoman Jessica Maxey Faulkner says the metered spaces are no surprise. She says the North Side parks already have meters, and plans for the South Side parks were announced some time ago.
You'd think that Leslie may have voted on something like this at some point?

Leslie was either asleep or missed that meeting, she is only a part time alderperson.
When are they going to put pay boxes in Montrose Park (beach) ?
If I had any say-so in the matter, I'd pay Leslie Hairston her 100K-plus part time salary in quarters this year. And at least half of that would be in Canadian quarters.
There is no end to Shorty's greed.

Yeah, but Ol' Leslie thought it was just gonna be the white folks on the North side that was gonna have to pay!
I think the City should install one of those pay boxes on top of Hairston's head. It might be the only time in her life that she would have something of substance inside of her skull.
Hey alderscum!You helped build the Daley monster and now you are upset that the monster is on the loose in your neighborhood now? What, you were hoping the monster would stay north? Sorry, but you are responsible for what you have done at city hall. You are a mindless puppet for your master, Daley. hahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!
Actually, as an alderman, she wouldn't have voted on anything having to do with the Park District meter contract. That was handled separately from the city's, by the Chicago Park District Board, which is appointed by the mayor. So she can only protest.
HAHA !
So parking extortion is okay for the north side but intolerable for the tax consumers on the south side. We even have meters on side streets up here ! It is actually pretty funny to expect people who drive without licenses and insurance to pay to park.
5th Ward Alderman Hairston wants the “pay and display” parking boxes modified to accept LINK cards as a form of payment.
The parking receipts will also soon print out a discount coupon for 10% off a bag of flamin' hots together with a grape or orange soda during normal breakfast hours of 12 noon to 400pm.
Y'all dissen my peeps. I thought that pay parken was fo the nof side.
got what you voted for jackass.
Squad, give me an RD for a stolen pay box.
10 to 1 that they get taken down or they dont enforce them.
Call Obama h will stop it.
Though they should jack up the prices to 20$ for the bud billiken parade
you mean they're gonna have to pay when they go wildin' in the parks on the souf side? aw hells nah ! that shit ain't right !
When are people going to wake up & dump Daley & all of the alderscum? Is this the type of leadership that we deserve?
Who will enforce them though? I don't see DOR or the Lax people writing tickets down there.
Dept of revenue on northwest side daily. Riding bikes to cover more ground. Nagle and Higgins past two days
o/t: Ald. Smith wants free asian carp for his folks....

The best post yet! He even accounted for the ghetto time zone! Sometimes, I love this job!
What's good for the northside is good for the southside. Those aldergoofs voted for this so eat it citywide.
That is all.

What, are you in a hurry to pay more fees? It'll come soon enough.
Is it over yet?
Just how many more metered parking spots can this damn company put in. I have seen plenty of places that didn't have meters that now have "pay and display" boxes. Is there a limit as to how many they can add? or is it everywhere that they can find to make money?
those pay boxes have been there for about 6 months. Leslie where have you been?
Now wait just one damned minute! You trying to put meters on my basketball court? Hell No! I'm keepin' my eyes on da prize. I will fight this blatant attempt to oppress my ball playin' and keeps me down, by any means necessary! I'd Rather Be Fightin' Da Man
Hairball is under the delusional assumption only tax paying folk are suposed to foot the bill. But what would one expect from a Mayoral Appointee
