An experiment in weblogging by the Yantis' of Temecula.
Things we find interesting. Items including (but not limited to) Temecula, the Yantis family, literature, technology, science, computers, the Internet, horses, and teaching.

The Parking Meter Page - History... The world's first installed parking meter was in Oklahoma City, on July 16, 1935. Mr. Magee had been appointed to the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce traffic committee, and was assigned the task of solving the parking problems in downtown Oklahoma City. Apparently, folks who worked in the area were parking on downtown streets, staying all day, and leaving few spaces for shoppers and others who visited the central business district.
