All I Want for Christmas is Free Parking

The Town of Chapel Hill is giving motorists a small Christmas present: Free Parking — well, sort of. There are, of course, conditions attached to it, such as having to get “parking coupons” from shopkeepers. But it’s worth looking into to save a few bucks. Here’s an idea, instead of spending the cash you save on a latte, why not put it in one of the Salvation Army kettles you’ll no doubt see stationed around local shopping centers this holiday season or to your favorite charity.
