parking in Henderson Carriage Building lot?

[she-of-emeralds.livejournal.com]

Hi folks,

Does anyone know if it's all right for an out-of-town visitor, just here for the day (Sunday), to park in the parking lot behind the Henderson Carriage Building on Mass. Ave.? This building is the one with the Elephant Walk restaurant and is across a small street from the Hess gas station. The lot appears to be plowed and is generally pretty empty on Sundays. Any information would be helpful. Thanks!

never mind. Looks full of plowed snow. I'll direct my friend elsewhere.

I used to work in that building. For the record:

1) It is never okay to park in that lot, unless you have some official permission or reason (e.g. Elephant Walk customers). On normal weekends you can get away with it, maybe.

2) During any kind of snow, even on the weekend, I would anticipate that the owners will tow in a heartbeat. They have to keep it clear for the work-week, where it's an incredibly contentious space. There aren't enough spaces for all the employees (or even most of the employees) of the businesses in that building, to say nothing of their customers and guests. As in our receptionist kept a cache of quarters for job interviewees, because we couldn't offer them free parking, they had to park at a meter on Mass Ave.

Okay. Thanks for letting me know.
