These are my feelings too. It's just not practical. By the time I've spent 
three-quarters of an hour in traffic (each way) and have paid $15 or more 
for 3 hours' parking, I'm better off shelling out $20 to buy an article 
online, where I can take time to digest it, make myself a free coffee, and 
do the work without worrying about my parking meter, or closing time.
