Jennifer works at Wonderlab and said she's tried to report several times this week that the parking meters in front of Wonderlab (on 4th St. between Madison and College, minimally) have been blacked out. It looks to her like someone has taken a Sharpie and completely drawn over the meters' LED panels. She's received many questions from Wonderlab patrons about the meters and whether they're functioning.
