Parking Meters in Excelsior, MN

Here's a slice of Minnesota . . .

I recently snapped this shot in the town of Excelsior, which is a western suburb of Minneapolis.

Excelsior sits on the banks of Lake Minnetonka. The lake is a prime boating destination and Excelsior is a fun place to stroll. The town has a quaint downtown with shops, wine bars and coffee shops. Boaters on the lake like to stop there for a snack or potty break.

That snack or potty break will cost you some of your spare change, though. A string of parking meters on the city's public docks regulates boat parking.

There is a two-hour limit and the meters are checked from 8 am to 1 am, seven days a week, including holidays.
