For those that have known the eter­nal park­ing space in front of Random Hall, take a moment to acknowl­edge its pass­ing. Recently (within the past week) Cambridge upgraded many of the park­ing meters in the city from the old, insert quar­ter turn knob and hand moves type, to a newer, insert quar­ter and dig­i­tal dis­play counts up type. For those that do not know the eter­nal park­ing space, there was a park­ing meter in front of Random Hall which was bro­ken such that it always reg­is­tered about 3 min­utes and no car there parked would be tick­eted. This park­ing meter was bro­ken before I arrived as a fresh­man and Riad claims that it had been bro­ken for a long time before then. I guess that this marks the end of an era; good­bye eter­nal park­ing space.
