Irecently went to an event at the Lensic Performing Arts Center and parked my vehicle in the nearby parking garage. To my dismay, exiting the garage via the elevator, the inside of it was terribly dirty, and near the doors there were old boots.

On the way back to my car, I took the stairwell, thinking that might be cleaner. It was equally dirty and smelled like urine. It looks like the homeless have taken over this place. It looked like a Third World garage in our beautiful City Different. Is no one in the city government checking this out?

Two of the machines that accept parking fees were not working. A long line formed behind those that did. I can just imagine the chaos after a Lensic event in the evening when everyone needs to pay at the machine first before leaving the garage. One used to pay a fixed fee in advance when entering the garage to attend a Lensic event, which meant a fast departure when heading home.
