CitySquare Garage

I had a hard time getting in and out of here. It wasn’t terrible but there was a long line. Seems like it could be organized a little better. I mean if you really in a pinch and you have to find parking this place will do the job. But you know. If you’re not in a pinch and you can get street parking. Do it.

I parked here for the Neil Young concert last month. While it seemed decent going in, I had a premonition that exiting might be a problem, being that they charged a flat rate but did not collect payment upon entering. This meant that there would be a huge line upon exiting.
True that.
We sat at a complete standstill for 20 minutes after maneuvering out of our parking spot into the parked traffic behind us. Fortunately, my astute passenger got out of the car to talk with one of the guards, and he noticed that they were only letting a few cars proceed to the payment windows at a time. Huh?
He then heard the guard talk into his walkie-​talkie, «let 10 more go,» and he waved for me to turn around and head up a ramp the wrong way. We did. And we got into a different stream of cars that was moving. A handful of minutes later, we were at the payment window when I heard a CRASH to my right.
Apparently, a pick-​up truck from New Hampshire decided to drive right through the lowered gate at the payment booth. Unfortunately for him, there was a cop right outside the exit who waved him over. Not sure if the guy was as frustrated as we were with the wait, drunk, or broke, but it was really strange and/​or amusing. (That’s how the attendants seemed to take it, too!)
To sum it up, a good 30 minutes to move about 1000 feet to get out of this damn garage. And a $ 20 fee. And the garage staff didn’t seem to give a damn about it.
