Just some random notes for Christmas Eve.
Weather Sucks, Drive Carefully
First, the weather is making driving very dangerous, especially on side streets. Please slow down and drive carefully. We want everyone getting home safely.
Geek On The Radio
The Geek is going to join Pat Cassidy and John Dempsey on WLS 890 AM this morning at 10 AM. It will be a short segment, but tune in or stream it if you can.
Feed The Meters!!!
It’s not a parking meter holiday AND, PEA Ticketmaster warns us parking enforcement will be essentially at full strength–despite the fact the rest of the city is closed to save money.
“Just a little reminder. Even though Christmas Eve is scheduled as a “reduced service date”, parking enforcement aides will be out and about doing what we do best,” says Ticketmaster.
So avoid tickets, and feed those meters!
Frozen Meters?
I don’t think it’s going to get cold enough, but with all this sleet, etc., watch out for frozen meter problems.
Merry Christmas
We hope you and your family have a blessed and happy Christmas.
UPDATE: Paul Eggers from First Chicago Business, says a recent interview with the Parking Ticket Geek will air Saturday, December 26th at 6:30 AM on Me-TV.
Yeah, that’s very early. I’m not even sure I’ll be up that early, but I’ll try. Two year old kids help.

Heard you on WLS 890 AM just a few minutes ago. It is so cool how the everyday people can have a voice and an influence on society via the internet. Lord help us if the internet is ever censored and restricted.
Hi there. I used the crappy parking meter a few weeks ago and they charged my card twice. The time of both charges are 1 second apart. Daley must go!
Note my statement. Now what? Thanks.

After John C. posted his comments, representatives from Chicago Parking Meters, LLC reached out to us via e-mail to get John’s info so they could make sure he got a refund.
It sounds like they’re going to clear up the issue and refund his money.
Kudos to CPM for the prompt attention and taking care of this gentleman’s issue.
