Chicagoan Gets Ticket While Feeding Meter

This one is from January 3, 2011, but I just ran across it. While NBC Chicago was interviewing a man about the recent increase in meter rates to $5.00 per hour, he was ticketed. Interesting interview, to say the least.

I'd embed the video, but the station's website doesn't seem to allow it.

Reviewing a few comments on this and other Chicago stories, it seems that the parking meters are now known as "Daley boxes" and feeding them money is known as the "Daley grind". "Ballard boxes" would certainly work down here in Indy. Any further suggestions?

I like the Ballard Box idea.
