Yeah, I've used the Ren Cen parking structure sometimes, but it is really high. That outside lot is cheaper when it is open. And yes the casino lots is ok if you can take that 'vertigo' inducing winding accession up into it [[smile). But that's a heck of a walk... all in all you have to work at it if you want to do downtown. Catching the people mover to the Ren Cen/ GM building is cool. Too bad that location of the people mover station within the RC/GM building is not more clearly marked. I've got it figured out now, but it was a trip initially....

I hope your business is doing well, wherever it is now located.



I get that paying for parking is a nuisance expense, but they surely have parking at the RenCen and some such.


I would not hesitate to park at Greektown Casino, if it were me - it's a casino, not a friggin' Boys Club [[i.e. ethical qualms addressed). It is a couple of blocks' walk, it is true, but you can stop by to validate and get an ice cream at Cold Stone, which is pleasant enough. That's less so me being cheeky than an actual suggestion.
