[PRCo] Re: Pittsburgh Parking

[Schneider Fred]

Tongue in cheek ... park at PTM and con Scott into driving you in.

I've read some of the suggestions and the ones about using a hotel /  
motel garage or a dealer (perhaps on Baum Blvd.) sound good to me.

When Marie and I went on the cruise to Alaska in 2007, we left the  
car in the motel garage in Vancouver for two weeks.   Because we  
stayed there for several days before the cruise and briefly  
afterward, I think they only charged me a couple dollars a day for  
parking.     It was no where near the extortionary rates charged by  
airport garages.   It was also under cover.   I've also used motel in  
suburban Maryland when flying to Europe out of Dulles Airport ...  
they let me park free because I stayed over night.

I have no idea what leverage you might have.   Most of the hotels are  
hurting right now for business.
