On Saturday night, I headed over to Newport Musical Hall to see Guster, one of my favourite bands. I saw this parking lot with attendants outside. I decided to pull in.
The place was charging $5 for parking for the evening. That's a pretty good deal. I then realized that I was in the university district, so it made perfect sense.
I gave the male parking attendant $20 and hope that he could break it. He had $15 in bills back. Nice!
I parked. I had enough time to back into the spot. It's my tip for you. When you are going to an event, back into a parking spot. It's easier when it comes time to leave.
I visited my car four times during the evening. The first time was to park. My second time was fetching my concert ticket. My third time was putting my purse in my car, as it was larger than what was permitted at the venue. The last time was after the show. Needless to say, I know the start of the second floor of this garage well.
My car was safe during nearly five hours that it was parked here. It was busy pulling out of the lot, but everyone was patient and friendly. I let a minivan from Indiana back out of a spot and drive off. One of the woman was supervising the backing-out process, and then waved to thank me before climbing into the vehicle.
It's the perfect location to park and walk around,as there are tons of shops, bars, and more. Ohio State University is next to this lot. It's a cool part of the city.
