New Orleans Eats Forums at NOLAEats.com

On Saturday, March 27, the Dept. of Public Works will begin ticketing parking meters throughout New Orleans on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. in addition to the regular Monday through Friday, 8-6 meter times. Also, the rate will increase for two-hour meters to $1.50 per hour from the current $1.25 an hour.

Also...they are starting to place "warning" notices on cars at the meters this weekend.

So don't have a heart attack, or attack a meter maid if you venture out to a meter area this weekend and notice something stuck under your windshield wiper.

Just got a parking ticket on Magazine. Totally forgot to pay the meter

Near Casamentos or Theos perhaps???

Mitch would be wise to rescind that nonsense.

Right across from Mayan Imports, ran in for 5 minutes to get a couple cigars.

Souvenier of the Olympics - Parking Meters charge $2.00 for one hour, $4.00 for two hours if you can find a meter that will let you stay two hours.

The guy is an abject socialist hell bent on feeding the trough of government. Parking meters, and the subsequent, ticketing, booting and towing is a great way to enslave the few remaining productive members of the New Orleans population.

In other words, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Didn't say he was wise.....even a broken clock is right twice a day. Maybe he'll be right once.
