There is nothing more annoying that people that have lack of respect when it comes to parking and it is becoming more of a problem. Leading up to a crackdown by the Transito department “Bad Parking” tickets are being passed out by them and by volunteers (Oh yes I have been given a batch!). Alberto Rodriquez Cespedez joins me this morning to tell us all about it…. I a couple of weeks it will be sticky tickets by the authorities and towing away.
Wednesday and it is that time of the week to check out the happenings in the Great White North with Michael.
