Don't forget, as part of Mayor Daley's attempt to sell off every one of Chicago's assets to fix its budget "crisis", the city sold off its parking meters which resulted in the loss of all "parking meter holidays". So if you're parked at a metered spot today, you had better dip into the laundry money and pump quarters into that meter or you're going to start your new year with a parking ticket.
