  • Speaking of meters, I was promised that there would be a follow through on the oakland meter situation. Remember, the shops were claiming that sales were down x percent, and that revoking the new meter charge would make customers come back. Has that happened?

  • @jass, the meters are the same as they have always been, there was never any extension or increase. But it would be interesting to see how those businesses are doing – especially that theater.
