Yes.  He swiped it on a little portable machine.

Whatever.  Everyone knows you're a liar.    J/K

glad they added the cc swiper...much improved.....until you try and exit with the gate down and no ticket.  I assume you just ring security and they will let you out.

Why would that make a difference?  They don't give you a ticket if you pay cash either, right?

Ok, I see what you meant.

FWIW, I've never had a problem exiting the P&L garage.  The gate has always been open.

And don't be afraid to hang a left off 13th and cruise southbound on Walnut.  There are some one-way signs pointing north and all the parked cars on both sides of the street are facing north, but don't let that discourage you.  It's pretty much understood that you can drive southbound anyway; especially if you are drunk or driving a diesel truck with a dually.

It scares the crap out me me anymore driving downtown late on Saturday night.  It almost seems safer to drive the opposite direction of the ONE-WAY arrows throughout the loop since most of the drunken P&L idiots are already doing so.

NO KIDDING!  It's unbelievable!!!  Scares the crap out of me.  In other states I've seen LED no left turn signs that are blindingly bright to prevent this.  Sounds like we need a few as well as light up DO NO ENTER signs at Walnut.  Better yet, spike strips?

I have seen some of the "gutsiest" maneuvers from motorists along Grand, Walnut, and 13th.  These crazy/drunk drivers don't mix well with people know how to drive downtown and pedestrians crossing the street.
