MIDTOWN PROMENADE WILL NOW CHARGE YOU $85 for PARKING!!!
I have been going to Midtown Promenade for years. recently, they have started charging for parking. They say that the first two hours is free if you register. I did; when I spent a little longer hanging out with friends, I tried to figure out how to extend my parking and it seemed impossible.
They have a camera that takes photos of your plate as you go in and out. Two weeks after I spent 2.5 hours at the bar, I got a bill in the mail for EIGHTY-FIVE DOLLARS. The very threatening language said that if I paid the mailed notice immediately, it would only cost me $25, but if not, they would send an $85 bill to a debt collector.
This is absurd. I am fine paying with parking, but every other place makes it easy to extend parking for longer than two hours, and $85 is an absurd charge--frankly, even the $25 they are trying to charge me now is incredibly excessive for parking at a bar during the week.
I love Midtown Art and the Independent, but sadly will not be going there again as long as Asana Partners is using this Professional Parking Management company.
