At a recent blogging.la author meet-up, we discussed some of our favorite “secret” parking spots, etc. around L.A. Everyone knows that parking in Los Feliz can be tricky, especially on a weekend night. A favorite not-so-secret place to park has always been the post office lot on Vermont, just south of Franklin.
Well, I should say was. I’m not sure when the change occurred, but when I stopped at the post office on my way to work this morning to drop off some mail, I spotted a sign for $2.00/hour and a pre-pay parking box.
Say it isn’t so! I was already running a little behind, so I just snapped the one photo with my cell phone, but the signs on the side of the building indicate that you must pay anytime outside of post office hours. Bummer.
Bummer.
that is soooooo unfair. Just once, can’t the city cut the citizens a break?
Even the feds need to step in and make a buck on the tough parking in the area. Won’t help the deficit one bit I say.
Yup, that them there’s federal territory, Tammara. I’m a-guessin’ unless there was a deal done struck with the postmaster, the city can but to covet such an unfortunate revenue generation scheme from the outside lookin’ in… like a vampire uninvited.
