All of the parking meters throughout Coronado have been draped with green festive looking covers with the above message. What a novel idea....a community actually giving it's residents and visitors something for free...unlike the larger city across the bay, that other than large retirement benefits to it's former employees,
doesn't give anyone jack. Now I guess you could argue that it's some kind of marketing ploy (and not a bad one) to get people to spend their hard earned money in Coronado's rather pricey shops....but come on now, do you really think people are piling into their cars in Santee and flocking over to Coronado so they can save a few quarters...I don't think so...I think it's just one small part of this "Island Paradise" of which I'm falling in love with (it's not really an island).
