Quote of the day

Quote of the Day
  • Charles Dickens
    We are not rich in the bank, but we have always prospered, and we have quite enough. I never walk out with my husband but I hear the people bless him... I never lie down at night but I know that in the course of that day he has alleviated pain and soothed some fellow-creature in the time of need... Is not this to be rich?

  • World's First Parking Meter Installed (1935)
    The parking meter was invented in 1935 by Carl C. Magee in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The first meter was installed there later that year, guaranteeing drivers a parking space for an amount of purchased time. Used until the 1980s, Magee's original design had a coin acceptor, a dial, and a visible flag indicating the expiration of paid time. Reverend C.H. North was the first person in the US to get a parking ticket because of an expired meter. What happened when he disputed his ticket in court?
