In what appears to be a historical piece or perhaps reflecting a news sense that lacks normal journalistic urgency, the New York Times reported on December 24th, that eight months ago, Chicago saw an increase in parking meter vandalism.
Yawn. NY Times Reports Parking Meter Vandalism
To be fair, the NYT actually filed a freedom of information act (FOIA) request to find out there were 579 cases of meter vandalism reported between April and August of 2009.
However, this number should be of no surprise to anyone reading this website, where most of the reporting on this destructive trend was chronicled over, and over, and over again, when it was actually timely news.
Here's the full story.
