I am in Dallas/Fort Worth this week for work. 
Obviously my title indicates that there were “issues” with parking… Keep reading to find out!

We are reporting to an office building downtown that does not have a parking garage, so we found a lot about 6-8 blocks away and parked there @ 6am on Monday.  I checked the sign as I was taking my little ticket from the automated system and the prices seemed decent enough.  We ended up working late and eating downtown @ P.F. Changs.  The meal was excellent.  By the time we were getting back to the parking garage, it was dusk.  As we approached, we noticed that the exit gate was closed with a heavy steel gate.  Not a good sign!  We tried to open the door to the elevators and stairs, but it was locked, too!  So we walked around the building to the entrance ramp and it was open.  One of the other guys was ahead of me and was walking up the ramp when the gate closed behind him.  Five minutes later he was able to drive his vehicle out thanks to someone else in the parking garage using his monthly pass… Appearantly this parking garage locks down after 6pm, and has swipe card access required at the entrance and exit!!!  Luckly we were all able to pile in this other friends vehicle and I was able to retrieve my truck this morning.

You take a look at these pics and be the judge… I call foul!
