So I went to visit a family member who was in the hospital with a couple of other people and since we drove we needed to find a parking spot. While looking for parking, there were a lot of sidewalks with parking meters and the price for the ones there happened to be 5 minutes for every 25 cents.<\/p>\n
That was pretty darn expensive I thought as it was more than most parking meters even in the downtown core. Thinking how this was a hospital too a lot of people are probably in a vulnerable state of mind as they simply want to just find anything.<\/p>\n
Sure enough though, if you just went a few blocks down there was actually free parking and prices that were more reasonable. I guess like always you pay for convenience and that just trying to look a little bit further to avoid those emotional purchases can go a long way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
