Meter Men.

Parking Meter People

Three parking meter people stand in a parking area at the corner of NE 1st Avenue and NE 2nd Street. The metal stick figure people have parking meter heads and wear gloves on their metal pole arms.

[Chris Harmon, 12/31/2023]

Officially named "Meter Men," they were created by David Gourchenhour back in 1990 to guard a meter-free parking lot. The lot is still there, but one foot and two Meter Men hands have been lost to the elements.
