You only need look to Gettysburg to see how it can be done successfully.<BR/><BR/>Most people don't like shuttles. It's the waiting thing.

The response was that there wasn't enough off street parking available. That is a problem for a fine dining establishment.<BR/><BR/>Tersiguels doesn't face the same problem because they have the large public lot right behind them.wordboneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00250201271555676642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-1161892735234900882006-10-26T15:58:00.000-04:002006-10-26T15:58:00.000-04:00I read about parking problems all the time on Main...I read about parking problems all the time on Main Street and maybe I am lucky but I have never run into a problem except for the times I am feeling lazy. Parking seems sufficient to me between the lot at the top, lot behind Tersiguel's, sidewalk parking, parking next to the Phoenix and lot behind Trolly Stop. I have been there at all hours every day of the week. A parking garage doesn't seem necessary to me but like I said I hear and read so many freakin complaints I must be lucky(or maybe not as lazy as others).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
