Where do you park?

---

Parking can be a nightmare. And judging from the answers we got when we asked about the best places to park short-term on campus, most of you agree.

Many of you would rather brave a walk in the humid weather or the crowds of public transportation. But what about those times when you need to make a quick stop on campus and driving is the most convenient option?

Those at the Institute of Contemporary Art and Alumni Relations agree that meters are your best optionthat is, if you can snag one. For those of you who dont mind spending the extra buck, theres always parking lots and garages on campus.

Thats a secret. Sorry.

ISOBEL SOLLENBERGER
Exhibits Installer, ICA
Up by Powelton Village, but dont do it on 38th. We had a window broken there. Near the churches theres some meters.

ERIC McDADE
Exhibits Installer, ICA
[laughs] I dont drive.

ROBERT CHANEY
Exhibitions Coordinator, ICA
Short-term parking? What does short term mean? [For times when you need to run inside for 20 minutes] Well, these meters change all the time out here [36th between Walnut and Chestnut].

KATE STERN
Intern, ICA
Theres nowhere to park. Right now Im taking the train. When I drive, I park right outside [meters at 36th between Walnut and Chestnut] so I go down [to feed the meters] every two hours.

KRISTINA CLARK
Associate Director, Alumni Relations
Thirty-fourth and Chestnut. Thats as short term as it gets I think. Its a garage. Short term would be a meter, but really you cant get a meter.

JASON HORGER
Associate Director, Alumni Society, Alumni Relations
I know its not behind Addams Fine Arts Hall because thats where I got towed from. I dont have a good answer only because I live so close that I walk so I dont park. If I ever drive to campus, I park at meters if I can. Sometimes Ill park in the lot thats at 34th and Chestnut. I think its $10 a day.
Clark interjected, But you should check; it could go up.

JEANNIE WILLIAMS
Administrative Assistant, Alumni Relations
Youre asking me and I dont drive? [Well, what if an alum calls and asks? Are you going to tell them that? asked Clark] No, I tell them 38th street, the garage.

JANELL WISELEY
Receptionist, Alumni Relations
I always park in one of the lots.
