although annoying, the gravity of the downtown "red bags" too far ahead is far less because most of downtown's parking spots are in garages. On Mass Ave. the street is the main source of parking.

If the Aesop's wait staff mirrors their manager's surly attitude, well, you get the picture. The food is consistently mediocre, but affordable.

Hoaglin's, on the other hand, has interesting menu, isn't cheap, and excellent service.

As for parking...I think the bagging goes into effect in advance so that the IMPD isn't towing cars at noon on parade day. Cause many folks park there at 4-6 p.m., and leave their cars overnight.

Surely the merchants can figure out some alternatives. Whining is not allowed. Esppecially by those you cited here.

It's difficult to muster sympathy.

Thank the new Marion County Sheriffs office for that. Eeerrr I mean the new IMPD. I am an officer an have seen the new command staff from MCSD mess up every traffic plan and transit pattern we have used in the past. They will not listen to any former IPD personnel and they simply will not look at written plans we have had in place for years. They have already caused problems for both the 5o00 and Formula 1. They want to do it their way to show they are now in charge.

Probably about 2:00. I think merchants who aren't doing anything to capitalize on the festivities shouldn't be complaining about the parking situation.

When I stopped by your booth at Pride, Gary, I'd just walked from Mass Ave. I parked right in front of Aesop's Tables since the meters weren't hooded anymore (the parade was over). That was, what, about 1 or 2pm? A little late for lunch, but not that far...
