There is plenty of parking around town. People need to park and may need to walk a little. A little more walking and less shuttles and scooters might do the large numbers of fatties in this area some good to get some exercise.

Pave it for daytime parking and lawn chair use at night for whatever entertainment might be available.<br /><br />On another sore subject, use the huge parking area at the soccer complex and shuttle shoppers to town during the daytime. Yes, it would be a long haul, but there is a Porta-Potty at the complex for the return trip!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-31287515561307056432016-12-16T06:54:58.899-06:002016-12-16T06:54:58.899-06:00Fairhope is special allright, full of self absorbe...Fairhope is special allright, full of self absorbed ---------------------Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-29620097156460637542016-12-16T05:07:59.439-06:002016-12-16T05:07:59.439-06:00The Methodist church lots are quite full several t...The Methodist church lots are quite full several times a week.

I just wish that everyone who parks in a 'slanted spot' in front of a retail store will please think about what revenue that store may lose if that spot is tied up all day by someone just sitting in class or working a shift. Fairhope is special and our merchants do their best to roll out the charm……please let customers go in and buy from them. It rewards our city!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-24568893736734436122016-12-15T04:32:58.363-06:002016-12-15T04:32:58.363-06:00Why can't people in Fairhope walk???

Then they could write traffic tickets for all the employees that park out front of the stores. Also use the parking garage if you shop in that area (Church to Magnolia to fairhope Ave to Section st). If you shop in the area of Delimar, French Quarter park by the park. Plenty of parking spaces, stop complaining walk a little.

Please explain. On the other hand, the comment about the parking at the 'Emptytheatre' hits home! I live very close to that location and had wondered why I never heard any sounds from that location, b/c I love when The Venue and the Fairhope Inn have great parties with bands playing. I have never seen anyone on that 'amphitheater' site. Why was it built and who paid for it? Why can't the city and/or school convert it to parking? Or is the Baptist Church paving it and turning it into a parking lot also?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-267936272174910872016-12-14T18:09:08.769-06:002016-12-14T18:09:08.769-06:00Wouldn't it be nice to see a trolley center of...Wouldn't it be nice to see a trolley center of town ,with a park deck the area of mini store across from ace.One half park garage one park art walk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-78766555922837845722016-12-14T17:48:46.146-06:002016-12-14T17:48:46.146-06:00I agree.

Has anyone noticed that no events are being held at the Emptytheatre? Why would anyone want to go there when they can hear a concert on the bluffs overlooking the bay? In my opinion this was by design when Faulkner pushed to build the Emptytheatre. Walcott Adams made a lot of money designing it and Faulkner probably didn't want a parking lot. Thus, that space can never be turned into a parking lot now. I think the city should consider building a parking garage in the parking lot behind the Fairhope Inn next to the park. That location is hidden and could hold a lot of cars if it was 2 or 3 levels. Just a thought..

It seems that anytime that there are classes at Faulkner that the students fill up every vacant spot, including the lot at the Fairhope Market, early every morning, leaving potential shoppers to either go elsewhere or order online. It must be very discouraging for our merchants to have no control over the spaces in front of their businesses. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
