In Search of Parking …

We didn’t know about the winter overnight parking ban in the city until last week. As you might have guessed all of the city’s parking permits have been gobbled up by now. On the suggestion of the police we have called all the local churches, funeral homes, et cetera, in the area in the hopes that they would have a space to rent for us. Nada. Zilch. Nope.

The parking garage on East Main Street was also suggested by the police, but they don’t offer monthly permits, and charge $5 per day. Obviously that is a bit expensive (about $100 a month since Saturdays and Sunday are free). We could avoid the charges completely by moving the car EVERY MORNING by 7 a.m. and then moving it again EVERY NIGHT by 6 p.m., but we’d really like to find a place were we can leave it without worry. After all, we drive it only once a week or so to do errands.

If anyone out there has a parking spot we can have or rent, we’d really appreciate it. Even if you only have an idea or lead, PLEASE contact us (gmail = rickscully). Thanks!

I’m off to make up a few flyers to post.

UPDATE: Our property manager came through for us with a spot we can use rent-free! A big thank you to him!

    I’ve got a lead in Montpelier, but forgive me, I don’t understand what you mean in your gmail comment earlier. You can email me off my blog profile for more info.
