Beware of 30 Minute Parking Meters:-)
by Yaqui
Ok, I had to laugh about this one. I didn't know that the Red Parking Meters are only 30 minutes long and it is illegal to refeed the meters too! The Grey Meters are at least two hours, so look for those to park at.

Hospitality and Dark Memories
by calcaf38
I encountered the proverbial Southern hospitality in its purest form in Montgomery, Alabama. Absolutely everyone I met asked me where I was from, offered help and conversation. Ironically, I came to this haven of courtesy to study man's injustice to man. It is precisely from the people who could still be angry - the elderly witnesses who volunteer at various Civil Rights venues - that I learned a deep lesson in grace and forgiveness.
