A slew of new parking meters have been installed along the pedestrian walkway in downtown Baltimore, Md. But these meters aren't for parking. Instead of counting down minutes from when coins are inserted, the meters count down from "hope" to "despair." The proceeds will go to the Baltimore Homeless Services. We talk with Benn Ray, a local book shop owner, about how this parking meter is something different to each person that walks past it.
