For space #129 it is push "1", look to paper and see next number is "2", find "2" on keypad and push it, and then by this point it is in some autodiagnostic mode and NO ONE can use it for a couple minutes until it resets.<br /><br />I imagine the same thing is true with the elderly. And I don't go downtown anymore -- I go to the malls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-6139034953118398292012-07-26T11:35:11.580-04:002012-07-26T11:35:11.580-04:00Almost every time I have been in Amherst and used ...Almost every time I have been in Amherst and used the new meters, I have had to help someone to explain how to use them. The directions are far from clear, and it is mostly elderly people I have had to help. Not only that, but there are now lines at the boxes due to the confusion. I've watched people walk away in frustration, not paying for parking, and risking a ticket rather than wait to use the machines. I heard someone saying that Northampton's system is so much easier than what Amherst has now, and it is faster too.

Go Berry:
"...Comparing the two Yogurt places:<br /><br />Go Berry:<br />"GoBerry frozen yogurt is made with the freshest ingredients. The dairy used to make our yogurt comes from small independent farms within 20 miles of our stores, and does not contain antibiotics or synthetic growth hormones. We make our frozen yogurt fresh daily on site, and take pride in serving only the highest quality ingredients."<br /><br />Froyo<br /><br />"INGREDIENTS: Pasteurized and Cultured Skim Milk, Water, Sugar, Nonfat Dry Milk, Skimmed Yogurt Powder, Citric Acid, Lemon Juice Concentrate, Natural Flavors, Food Starch, Corn Syrup, Carrageenan, Pectin. Contains the following live and active cultures: S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus, L. lactis, L. acidophilus and Bifidobacterium."<br /><br />One uses local ingredients, supporting local businesses and the other adds corn syrup, etc. Now which do you think tastes better?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-29349724463347274332012-07-25T16:39:06.647-04:002012-07-25T16:39:06.647-04:00Why can't we make parking in our garage as sim...Why can't we make parking in our garage as simple as parking in Northampton's garage?<br /><br />You go in, you grab a card at the entrance, the first hour is free. You pay for any time over that on the way out, using the card. How easy is that? <br /><br />To repeat: THE FIRST HOUR IS FREE. Doesn't that make a statement to potential shoppers?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
