North Old Woodward Parking Structure

I am not a fan of app-based metering. I prefer coin or card-based. This Friday evening I had…read moredinner downtown with my wife and 2 friends. At just before 5pm John and I tried several times using several cards to "Orient the stripe to the left" so we could pay for parking. John failed over 3 cards. I failed over the first and finally passed the test, only to find my card was declined. I tried the same card 3 more times, finally being accepted. I added time to the maximum of 1 hour, assuming wrongly that 6pm was the magic hour wherein metering stops for the evening. (Who in their right mind would allow 1 hr. max stay at an upscale restaurant?) As we left we discovered we had a $20 ticket for an expired meter. Paying online is laborious at best. Entering the Bureau Code (a 6-digit number which represents the ticketing agency) begins the odyssey. Within the multitude of white space on the front of the ticket one will see no BC. Seeing none, I called the number on the top front of the ticket. Not only did no one answer, the line cut off after several rings and a canned announcement. I then proceeded to call the number on back, which I found out is Police Dispatch. The officer directed me to the original number when I told him I needed the BC. Dispatch does not have this code, as it is apparently much more difficult to remember than the various and sundry 10-hyphens they are required to memorize. As he was speaking and moving me along, I absently scanned the back of the ticket. And what, to my wondering eyes should appear? Good guess; the BC. This critical first morsel of necessary information resides safely among the myriad of information foisted upon the reader in 8-point font, midway down the ticket. One might wonder how I feel about this. I was finally able to pay my ticket. I think $20 is excessive for an expired meter but I guess the fair City of Birmingham is trying to reduce recidivism rate amongst the hooligans and riff-raff.

The idea lab is a dreamers paradise where you can learn to print just about anything your heart desires, be it greeting cards, mugs, t-shirts, you name you can learn how to create in the lab. If you are seeking peace and quite, sneak off into one of the little cubby rooms to read, meditate, make phone calls or work on your computer. There are plenty of open spaces to relax and unwind with a good book or magazine while still participating in a public, social experience. There are plenty of windows to gaze out into the beautiful park or quaint city scenery. They have books for those that struggle to read with smaller print. There is a very large section of large print books. A children and teen section as well as every subject the adult could want for book selection. A beautiful, wonderful resource for the Birmingham, MI area.

I asked for an appraisal on my 2020 Porsche SUV Base model and he took a lengthy phone call and kept me waiting as if I wasn't even sitting in front of him. Finally, he went on Cars.com to search for comparable trucks in the southernmost part of the U.S. I thought that was unusual, but didn't think much of it at the time until he "punched the numbers" and said, "20K. That's the best I can do for you." Mind you, this is for a car with less than 45K miles on, still under manufacturers' warranty, and no damages/history of accidents whatsoever--in mint condition. I was shocked and insulted. I politely excused myself before telling him I had recently sold him my Range Rover 2 years prior. He, then, intimated remembering me and tried to catch up. I was already mentally checked out. Long story short, I went to a competitor not too far away a few days later and was offered 33K for the car. It's sad because I pride myself on supporting businesses within the community, but this experience took the cake. I can confidently say that I'll never return.

City of Rochester Parking Platform

Review #515 FIRST TO REVIEW…read more Sunday May, 4, 2025 So Glad to See this fairly new structure for extra parking here in Rochester! I cruised in from Main St to the West Parking Ramp entrance and parked on Level 2. It was conveniently useful since it was nearby for dinner at D'Marcos Italian Restaurant on a busy Good Friday night. Downtown Rochester Michigan offers more than 350 shops, restaurants, salons and profession businesses. The city also has abundant green space that offer two parks for nature walking. The City of Rochester offers two private parking decks providing 532 parking spaces, 700 metered parking spaces, street parking within downtown. Residents, travelers orvfrequent visitors can park anywhere legal to enjoy a leisure day, afternoon or dining evening in the heart of Rochester Free or Cheap Rates and even overnight! :-) Parking Information: East Parking Platform - 415 East St. West Parking 406-414 Walnut Blvd. (24 Hours) 431 S. Main St. Rochester, MI. 48307 - (248) 656-0060 info@downtownrochestermi.com *Note : I attached a photo of The Parking Key Map with different colors represents on street or alley parking by meter. Then Off Street parking. Garage Platform parking structure is FREE first hour then $1.25 after per hour. Purple areas designate FREE parking. So Map it before You Park It! :-) This Platform structure parking is close to D'Marco's , O'Connor's Public House, Rochester Brunch House, The Meeting House and Rochester Bistro. :-) * My suggestion: Print out the map and keep handy in your vehicle or screen shot a copy to your phone when ready to visit the City of Rochester this year for all Occasions when visiting Rochester in All Seasons! The levels here at the Parking Platform have easy to read signs for entering and exiting the structure along with stairs or elevators to travel to your vehicle and especially to the rocking fun local streets. There was a sign on the way out for A Market plus shopping coming soon inside the parking structure on roof. Sincerely, Karen N. Macomb, MI. :-)

First off, the vacuum stations are significantly improved, which is a huge plus from what they had prior with more stations and better suction and a better layout from a hose Ergonomic standpoint. Also, the drying system with more side nozzles and better placement do a better than the old turbine dryers they had in my opinion. From a negative standpoint, there were a couple areas that do not clean as well on my right side of my F150 and the tailgate which was also a problem with their old equipment. Lastly the new menu driven system for choosing/paying for your car wash over the old human interface system appears to confuse some people as I noticed both times I went some people were struggling to choose and than pay for their car wash. Very frustrating to be behind someone like that. Probably as time goes by and folks get accustomed to the new system this will get better. Fingers crossed (: Overall some nice improvements where their monthly unlimited wash subscription option is still a great deal and continues to be one of the main reasons I go here. Great value if you tend to wash your vehicle more than three times a month.
