I am sure text on urban planning have suggestions, but Kingston is special
when it comes to parking.
In 1981, I was courting my future wife who was at St. Lawrence College
while
I lived in Valcartier, P.Q. After a week on scheme I drove to Kingston on
a
Friday evening, entered her place of work where she was a barmaid, saw
that
she was busy, and went back out to snooze in my car on Wellington St. It
was
a bright yellow car, and I thought she would recognize it across the
street
from the front door of the bar. As it turned out, she didn't. I woke up
the
next morning to find that those b****** from the City had given me a
parking
ticket while I had been sleeping in the car. When I got to the apartment I
found my fiancée with a major lip-on: she thought I had stood her up the
previous evening. At least the standard parking ticket in Kingston back
then
was only about ten bucks and payable in a drop-box by City Hall.
