No parking meters is another reason to live in the South.
Or, to go to a suburban supercenter. Actually, shopping on Amazon for stuff has been pretty good; not only are prices lower but no driving, no tax and no shipping (usually), too. Saves time and money.
In emergencies (or when the items are too big or heavy), I head to the ‘burbs to shop. No sense giving Da Mayor any more than I already do.
