Speaking of parking (see my post from Sunday), I received this email from Paul Luna of Lunacy Black Market today:
What is news? What is illegal? What is injustice? Three weeks ago I requested "Public Records" from the City of Atlanta. As many of you know, the city is required by Sunshine Laws to furnish public information within three days. I still have not received the information I requested, nor have I received communication from anyone in the city that attempts are being made to obtain the information for me.
What did I ask for?
1) The number of parking citations issued and the revenues on these citations made in year 2006-2007.
2) Public records on the other bidders and their bid submission to try to win the parking contract with the city.
3) The hourly wage of ParkAtlanta employees and if their employment contract includes incentive pay.
Why are there no parking meters installed in Buckhead as the map indicates? Why is Buckhead an exception?

I hate this situation, but I have seen parking meters in Buckhead across from Piedmont Hospital. Maybe not next to Buckhead Life Restaurants, but there are a few meters.
I'm sorry to know Paul is experiencing so much trouble with this issue. LBM is an awesome restaurant.
Is that true about parking meters not being installed in Buckhead as they are in Downtown and Midtown? That's crazy.
Remember when Paul used to strip down and dance on tabletops in his restaurant? I bet next he starts to whine about the difficulties in obtaining a sex-workers permit.
The slow response of the city - I am not at all surprised based on my own experiences. I am happy to say that the 1hr enforced 24hrs a day meters in Little 5 have been changed to 4 hr meters with what I believe are limited to day time enforcement.
There are parking meters all over Buckhead, fwiw. A friend got a $25 ticket while parked on a random side street off of Pharr while we were having lunch on a Tuesday.
