I think the parking deck was only $1 for 2 hours. Not positive, since my friend paid, but it was about that. Not much different than a parking meter. And there is a guard there. Also, I don't think I would feel 100% comfortable walking much further than the parking deck at night. I know the area is improved, but to me, they still have a ways to go. ← ← Hi! My husband is David Drake's partner and i just wanted to say that I think the parking garage is the best place to park. Although sometimes there is parking on the street. Thanks for all the positive comments!
