What’s Hot
The parking meters have been fixed! All metered parking west of Alfred Street is now three hours instead of two. No more running out to feed the meter with 15 minutes left in class. No more half-panicky watching your watch while you wait for the check at dinner. Now you’re cleared to park for up to three hours. Please, enjoy the breathing room, and if you see her around the shop, thank Danielle. She played a huge role in advocating for more parking time.
