Don't Get TOWED!

Every night (specifically on weekends) the ol' Red River strip stand-by for dependable parking, the TRS parking lot, will now be patrolled by one of the many vulture-like towing syndicates that work the downtown beat.

As if life weren’t complicated enough. Crap.

We all know the TRS lot. It stretches from Red River and 11th to Trinity and 11th. In previous years, you could park all over the place there with wanton abandon. Perpendicular in the handicapped spots, in all the red zones (fire zones, no less), and best of all: on the grassy islands. Whoa, good times. Such good, barely rememberable times.

Well, no more crazy parking jobs in that lot. They aren’t towing everyone, necessarily, but if you park in any of the red zones, handicapped spots (without proper license), or on the grassy islands, a towing company is authorized to ruin your night (if those double-fisted well drinks and repeated shoot-downs from the opposite sex don’t destroy you first).

In all honesty, it’s been a long time coming for that lot. They’ve been damn lenient over the years. Consider yourselves warned and good luck in your future parking!
