absurdlakefront:
Ha! Apparently the company that has taken over the parking meters in Chicago weren’t quite prepared for the weather because many of the meter kiosks froze overnight.
Haha! Totally called it. I wonder if you still can get a ticket? Yes, you can still get a ticket. See below on how to contest it.
