Tonight I attended a family gathering on Sandwich Street. After riding around the few blocks I pulled into the Post Office Lot at Mill Street. Knowing I was in the wrong (but running late), I justified it with the Post Office being closed. Not everyone has the opportunity to be dropped off at the door, and some people are even apprehensive to park on side streets and walk in. My wonderful evening was ruined by a $28.25 parking violation. There really was no need for this citation. All you accomplished was to remind me that it is always better to frequent events held only at establishments that have adequate parking. My City of Windsor charity donations will be that amount slimmer this Christmas. Welcome to the City of Windsor and Merry Christmas.
