3rd St Garage

Been parking here for over 7 years now and I’ve about had it. On top of several occasions now when for whatever reason people can’t get out of one of the exits and the idiots who can’t figure out how to just GO TO THE OTHER EXIT so they sit and the whole thing backs up to the 5^th floor, and the vomit, urin, drug use, you name it… now I got a warning on my car for parking on the line!!! I could understand if I was interfering with an adjacent spot but on the other side of that line was a wall… WTF is the line even good for? Why did someone waste the time and paint to paint it? THERE’S A WALL THERE!!! Oh let me guess… some stupid handicap law states that there must be x amount of space between my car and the wall… so that what? A handicapped person has equal access to attempt to steal my car? Who in the hell needs to get in there? ME. Only ME! Oh, wait, maybe they were going to need to perform emergency maintenance on the concrete wall in the middle of a workday. Christ… the stupidity abounds. If you’ve got time to bother me about that then how about taking care of the vomit, piss, pot smoking, homeless people sleeping and other ILLEGAL activities that umm… maybe it’s just me, but I think should have a little more priority than me «parking on the line» next to nobody. Get a life donut hole.

A 10 minute walk from Christmas in the Park. On evenings (after 6pm), it is a flat fee of $ 5 for the rest of the night.
Grub Shack is just down the street :)
Apparently you get 2 free hours for validated parking. Does anyone know how to obtain that?

Clean garage with friendly attendant staff. Well lit which is perfect if you are parked in that garage at night.
Downside: The elevators tend to stall or breakdown completely while you are in them.
Best tip: Park on the 5^th floor to avoid parking traffic and attain guaranteed parking spots.

WARNING: Do not park here if you’re drinking and parking!!!
A couple of undercover cops cited us for «Drinking In Public”-but is it really public if you are inside your car, is it? Anyway the ticket was way high — I’m surprised the city isn’t rich on drinking in public citations alone– AND the cops made fun of us for drinking Puckers… in my defense… it was THEM drinking Puckers, not me! I swear!
Aside from that park here after 6pm on weekdays and on all day weekends – it’s free– and take a full whiff of the fragrant piss smell

Another multilevel public garage downtown that is a bit on the edge of the retail and restaurants. Good last resort for a garage if all the other’s are full.
