If the PARK(ing) day spots are not metered, can I use one for an Art Car exhibition?
Wow. 1900 Yorktown is pretty much a carbon copy of the Susanne on W. Alabama in Montrose. Only differences I can make out are in the footprint. All of the architectural detail in the elevations are identical.
Photo caption should be “Centennial Gardens at Hermann Park.” Yup, it’s nitpicking, but It’s such a wonderful spot that I’d hate to see anyone having trouble locating it in this sprawling city.
Yuck more el mediocre, now in my neighborhood.. I’m sure $30 fajitas will go over oh so well with the natives (actual Hispanics).
