Transportation Parking paradoxes
Posted by Max Brantley on Fri, Jul 20, 2012 at 5:00 AM
Yesterday, it was a couple of somewhat disparate images in downtown Little Rock parking lots.
At top is the high and mighty ride of a super-sized SUV. I was told it is one of the fleet of vehicles owned by Joe Johnson, the Little Rock Central graduate who's now a professional basketball star. At 6-7, he needs a big car. And, at his pay (he signed a $119 million contract in 2010), he can afford the gas.
At the other end of the car spectrum, I noticed yesterday afternoon that the city-owned Main Street parking deck has added a credit card-operated electric fueling station.
