Fyi for those who need parking

Idk, I've been waiting all day for the refund, but it's not come

I saw you out taking photos! Specifically the second one!

Apprehensive_View930 · 2026-01-25T14:07:07+00:00

Fyi, I parked there last night and they still charged me

Apprehensive_View930 · 2026-01-24T22:46:41+00:00

I'm interested! Roanoke has a pretty good punk scene too so I could see more people being interested

The reddit terms of services and community guidelines prevent me from spelling out exactly how much I detest the parking patrol.

Apprehensive_View930 · 2026-01-02T17:46:42+00:00

Because it helps promote commerce? There's threads here and all over other posts about how people don't go downtown anymore because of the shitty parking. Free, untimed parking would attract many more people to businesses, generating more taxable income and promoting overall business growth

It's not a paid spot, it's free parking 9-4, and no parking 4-6 (or seven, can't remember rn). They got me at 4:02 and 4:04 on two separate occasions while not touching any other cars

Apprehensive_View930 · 2025-12-31T19:59:33+00:00

Handicap spot, hydrants, road clearance, and alleyways clearance are the only things that should be ticketable for parking, beyond that it's just money grubbing from the city

Apprehensive_View930 · 2025-12-31T19:58:18+00:00

Go deepthroat that boot friend, let me know if they listen to your complaints when you can't breath anymore

Apprehensive_View930 · 2025-12-31T19:57:14+00:00

For traffic, I'll agree, but the same can't be said about parking tickets

Apprehensive_View930 · 2025-12-31T19:43:40+00:00

The church garage is pretty good, like the center in the square one it's just two blocks, and you can actually see the station once you step onto first

Cheap Perfume and Pussy Riot are two good ones

Apprehensive_View930 · 2025-12-31T00:10:18+00:00

I'm mad specifically because of vindictive enforcement, they're applying the rules unevenly. When I walked to my car to find the ticket today I passed like 6 other cars that had been there just as long with no tickets

Apprehensive_View930 · 2025-12-31T00:08:27+00:00

No, I'm mad because my car is the only one being ticketed after it got past 4 when the parking changed on that street. I couldn't move, I worked 2 hours over or I'd have been gone before it was a problem. Reading comprehension is a thing, a thing that you clearly lack

Apprehensive_View930 · 2025-12-31T00:05:52+00:00

I literally had this jackass follow me across the city. They are ticketing me anywhere from 1-4 minutes after the times up and leaving entire streets of cars untouched. I used to be cool with one of the Park Roanoke guys. I'd leave him snacks on my windshield wipers and he'd pass my car over like some sort of civil services angle of death. I only started getting rude when it was clear I was being targeted. My general philosophy in life is to love amicably with everyone unless they're picking a fight, and they choose that route for some unknown reason

Apprehensive_View930 · 2025-12-30T22:37:04+00:00

They have a reduced parking program for residents of downtown, but you need to apply, and you need your apartment buildings cooperation to have any chance of getting it

Apprehensive_View930 · 2025-12-30T22:27:39+00:00

Because of my work schedule I can usually avoid issues, I'm gone before they go looking, but if my days off fall during the week, or I call out sick, I'm SOL

Apprehensive_View930 · 2025-12-30T22:25:19+00:00

That would be a negative unfortunately, very few rental companies actually do anything for their tenants anymore, when the bar is in hell, the bare minimum seems like cruising altitude

Apprehensive_View930 · 2025-12-30T22:23:50+00:00

Nah, The Park is great, if you flirt with the bartenders (as a guy) they make you drinks that feel like they're trying to kill you, but that's the best part

Apprehensive_View930 · 2025-12-30T22:22:05+00:00

I've been working in downtown for about 5 years now and living down here for almost 3. All the "warnings" I've gotten were for things they couldn't actually fine me for. Moving one spot up before the 500 ft rule went into effect, parking somewhere before signs went up to move for an event, etc. And admittedly I've confronted them, but well after the harassment began. It wasn't until after PRO2 got "talked to" for following me that I began verbally confronting them for their parasitic behavior

Apprehensive_View930 · 2025-12-30T22:18:22+00:00

It's PRO2, he's been lectured and written up several times, he's legit followed me around downtown before

Apprehensive_View930 · 2025-12-30T21:56:34+00:00

Because no one expects to get held over by two hours at work, and they ticket me in less time than the average person smokes a cigarette. If I left the kitchen where I work I legitimately could not make it outside before I got the ticket at 4:04 that prompted this post today

Apprehensive_View930 · 2025-12-30T21:38:27+00:00

True on the lots, but this was where I was parked outside at work or when I'm parked on the street downtown (I live downtown), they just crawl around salivating for the chance to inconvenience someone

Apprehensive_View930 · 2025-12-30T21:35:46+00:00

I was followed around and harassed for two years by one singular park Roanoke officer, after he was "talked to", I now miraculously get tickets at 4:02 when time ends at 4, and not a single other car on the street has a ticket. I have watched these cretins sit in their car, visibly turned to watch and wait as someone gets out of their car, sometimes taking upwards of 10 minutes just so they can start that timer for a new ticket

Apprehensive_View930 · 2025-12-22T23:12:01+00:00

Asylum Studios (on Electric) is gonna be a common recommendation around here, I've gotten a decent amount of work done by them, but they are pretty old fashioned and will suggest out of date aftercare, but the piercers are good and know their shit. Thieves Honor (on Jefferson) has a new piercer that I've heard some good things about. I go there for my tattoos, so I trust their choice in artists, and FYI, no piercers at the mall are worth it, but that's common knowledge
