Anyone in/near Davenport, IA?

Pick me up one of the parking meters the city is (planning on) selling for $45. Need some more garage decorations.

I don't think they annouced the actual sale yet. I'm in the area if it does happen.

Of course I could get you one a la Cool Hand Luke...

I would love one of these for my bar if you can make it happen count me in !!!

No idea what you're talking about, but I have family there. Can you 'splain?

EDIT: just found the story. I'm heading to Des Moines later this month for Baconfest, so assuming they go on sale before then I may be able to work out getting some bought in advance and brought back for shipping from Chicago.

Well when they do go on sale if someone is organizing a "group buy" then put me down for one.

Wonder what it would cost to ship one...they've gotta be pretty damn heavy.

Flat rate Bocks.

Not sure if its just the top or with the pole that they'd be selling it. Just the top wouldnt be bad to ship. I'd prefer to have the whole thing if that was an option. Chance I might be headed out to Cedar Rapids in the near future so I might just be close enough to take care of this myself.

I remember being in San Diego years ago and they were selling the parking meters with poles still attached. Would have been an interesting trip through airport security for sure.

[graphite]

hah.. yeah I wonder what the aiport policy on that is. I'd love to see someone walk in with just a parking meter on a pole as their carry on and see what they do.

I'm picturing some type of scene vagueley resembling the "Terry Tate - Office Linebacker" sketch, but maybe im dramatic?

Darn, that's a 3 hour drive for me.
