Parking Meter Philanthropy
Comic book store owner Benn Ray set up these faux parking meters around Baltimore to collect money for the homeless, counting down the minutes from hope to despair. Audio info is provided by NPR's Morning Edition. Here's another, similar meter project in Dayton, OH. Much feedback on this blog about the effectiveness (or not) of this idea.
