The Park

St. Louis parking is beautiful. The meters are cheap, and off-hours most of the time. In the South, most of the time there weren’t even meters. But ever since I’ve crossed into Virginia, it’s been total crap. They simply don’t believe in street parking. Everywhere I’ve gone has been a parking garage. The rates are obscene. They go from a low of 2 dollars an hour to a high of 10. They give you no leeway, as 61 minutes is equal to 1 hour and 59 minutes. Between Norfolk, Richmond, and DC, I’ve spent over 30 dollars to simply keep my car sitting still. Despicable.

Well actually, my father has. Soft bed, cushy hotels, good food, and free parking. I love being a dependant, for a few days a year.
