The Five Cent Solution

Don't know what to do with a nickel any more? Send it to Trail, B.C. where the cost of an hour's parking is 5 cents. Andrea is collecting nickels to have in her office on Trail's "Bay Street" (that really is the name!) so that clients can use them in the meters outside on the street. How often do you actually have a nickel in your purse/pocket? Alas, I didn't have the camera out so didn't get a picture of these truly amazing parking meters - they look like all the others in every place I've ever visited - but there you go - 5 cents to park! And we say that everything's gone up in price!
