"&amp;nbsp;\nI am writing this to let everyone know about a parking ticket scam going on in the dirt lot behind the Midtown (and please know it has nothing to do with owner or operator of the Midtown). Last Friday, Sept. 12, I parked in said dirt lot around 7:30pm to work at a concert at The Domino Room like I&amp;#39;ve done for the past five years. (I actually always assumed it was part of the Midtown&amp;#39;s property, but it&amp;#39;s not.) Upon returning home around 1am I noticed a parking ticket under my windshield wiper. When I opened the envelope it was issued for &amp;quot;Not having a parking permit&amp;quot; to park in that dirt lot, a fine of $25, and it was written up at 10pm! On a Friday!! The following Monday I called the issuing company, &amp;quot;Municipal Parking Services,&amp;quot; out of Redmond, which is basically a guy and his cell phone, and inquired about the ticket. He informed me the owner of the dirt lot, a lawyer in town (who no one has anything nice to say about, btw) hired his company to ticket people at night during concerts for parking in his lot. He also told me new signs were posted and there was nothing I could do about it. Remember, I&amp;#39;ve been parking in this same spot for five years without a single problem."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
