Last time I went to NYC, to do some records research at the Municipal Archives on Chambers Street in Manhattan, it cost me $100 to park for less then a day. Never again.
I DO have fond memories in the 1960s when me and friends cut school and took a trip to China Town to buy fireworks. In New Jersey, there was a place where the bus drivers got coffee in the morning. So, there would be a line of Detroit Diesel buses - all parked, running, unlocked, and unattended. We crawl into one and hide all the way in back, on the floor.

We wouldn't pay and we'd jump the turnstiles and hop a train to China Town. Then, once there - we'd hand a China-man all our money. He tell us to "wait a few minutes and he'd be right back." And . . . we'd never see him again, and we'd go home empty handed. Went through this process many times and got ripped off every time. Us kids were slow to learn, but I guess in a way, it was fun.
