<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1708218, member: 18157&quot;]The parking garages at the Baltimore Inner Harbor won&#039;t let you park unless you pay in advance. On Hanover St., it&#039;s $10 for as long as you want to park on a weekend (per day)...but the garage closes from 1 AM to 5 AM.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was at a Raven&#039;s game with some friends a couple of years ago. It was a late game and the Raven&#039;s won in Overtime. We hit the bars after and were having a great time until I noticed it was 12:55 AM. We got to the parking garage at 1:05 AM, but the chain gate was already pulled down and locked. I could see my car and the attendant was still in his booth. </p><p><br /></p><p>I pleaded with him to let me in to get my car, but he said &quot;NO! ...come back at 5 AM!&quot;. Once I offered him $20, the gate opened right up and we drove off.</p><p><br /></p><p>OK...so that doesn&#039;t have anything do do with paying with coins. The point is, you can be right all you want, you can demand all you want...and you may even win the argument with the Manager on Monday, but the inconvenience and additional expense is unavoidable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you really think that...if you could find a Policeman, he&#039;s going to stop what he&#039;s doing, follow you back to the parking garage, and somehow &quot;force&quot; the garage attendant to accept your coins? ...when you have a wad of bills in your pocket? ...ain&#039;t happening! ...not in Baltimore, anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, your choice is to cough up the bills, or leave your car there until the Manager shows up. You can take your family home in a taxi and pay the extra parking fees...but you&#039;ll be in the right![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
