    Aviator, thanks for posting the video about Carmel, Indiana. Carmel is probably the best argument for the fact that Okies can figure this out (even stubborn Okies, if Hoosiers can), and when they do...

    Re: Downtown Parking

    Re: Downtown Parking

    Wouldn't a limitation on parking be a barrier to driving, just like gas prices and narrow streets in Europe? We continually remove this barrier by building new parking in downtown. There is...
