Parking - downtown and at UMD - there's an app for that

Scrounging around your car for quarters.

Leaping up from class or a meeting and running out to plug the meter before it expires.

That sinking feeling when you spot the brightly-colored little envelope tucked under your windshield wiper.

No more, Duluthians.

It still costs to park, of course, in Duluth and on the UMD campus, but now you can download an app that will let you find parking,  feed the meter,

let you know when your meter is going to run out and even throw in some virtual quarters if you're running late, all from the comfort and convenience of your very own phone.

Lisa Johnson started her broadcast career anchoring the television news at her high school and spinning country music at KWWK/KOLM Radio in Rochester, Minnesota. She was a reporter and news anchor at KTHI in Fargo, ND (not to mention the host of a children's program called "Lisa's Lane") and a radio reporter and anchor in Moorhead, Bismarck, Wahpeton and Fergus Falls.Since 1991, she has hosted Northland Morning on KUMD. One of the best parts of her job includes "paying it forward" by mentoring upcoming journalists and broadcasters on the student news team that helps produce Northland Morning. She also loves introducing the different people she meets in her job to one another, helping to forge new "community connections" and partnerships.Lisa has amassed a book collection weighing over two tons, and she enjoys reading, photography, volunteering with Animal Allies Humane Society and fantasizing about farmland. She goes to bed at 8pm, long before her daughter, two cats, or three dogs.
