When was the last time you got a parking ticket?

I'll go first.  I started working at Townsquare Media, which is located in downtown Rochester.  I absolutely love working downtown but unless you've got an actual place to park your car, life can get complicated...and expensive.

I was supposed to park in our parking lot but unfortunately, there were hardly any spots open ever so most of the time I had to park on the street.  If you aren't aware of street parking in downtown Rochester, you have to pay.  I'd set an alarm on my phone to let me know when I would need to either feed the meter or try to get another spot and sadly, there was a time my phone was on silent and I completely missed the alarm.  Ca-CHING!
