you can compare the reality with the artists concept
what is clear is that the designer has never seen a parking meter. Unlike a gumball machine, parking meters do not seem to have ever had a slide mechanism to insert the coins, they had slots. The awning over the doors seems to be a coin insertslide mechanism. And I looked on google, and can't find ANY old meters with 1 through 12 on them. 1 though 10 seems to be the closest
Driving city-owned white cars and a cluster of tow trucks, hundreds of Los Angeles parking enforcement officers moved through the streets of Echo Park on Wednesday in a procession to honor a fallen colleague.
Henry Medina, 47, of Alhambra, was the first traffic officer in the history of the city's Department of Transportation to die of injuries sustained in the line of duty. Medina died May 20 1997, after being struck by a car as he was impounding an illegally parked vehicle in Hollywood.
In a gesture of solidarity, parking enforcement officers from Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and Seattle also attended the services.
