Wow! A $25 flat rate on Saturday night? That's so egregious!

It was a little confusing when I first arrived as I expected to hit the button for a ticket but they've gone ticketless. So instead you need to put your credit card in first and that becomes your ticket in a way. So when you return to leave, you just use the same credit card and are on your way. Thankfully nobody was behind me waiting as I wasn't prepared with my card so it took me a minute to dig it out. But it was a very smooth process once I figured it out.

At the moment, it's $1 per hour to a maximum of $8. Technically, you're not supposed to enter the structure unless you are parking there, but on a Sunday morning I could not resist the opportunity to take the elevator to the top level and get some fab pictures of the Asheville skyline and the mountains in the distance.

The deck is regularly patrolled by Asheville parking services, making it safe and secure. The best part about utilizing the deck versus street parking is the fact that the first hour is free! Boom!

This garage had everything! It had a place for cars to come in, a place for cars to go out, and…read morelines on the ground to show you where to park! It even had a counter that showed you how many spots were available before you pulled in! When I pulled in, I received a piece of paper. When I left, I scanned the piece of paper, and scanned my credit card, and it charged me the exact correct amount! It was all automatic, and I did not have to speak to or deal with an attendant! Isn't the 21st-century great? We were there on a Thursday afternoon, and the downtown area was definitely hopping. We had no trouble getting in or out. The garage was conveniently located near to the downtown area. Coincidence? I think not. This is such a great garage I'm sure that when the age of George Jetson comes, this parking garage will be perfect for flying cars. Except the entry and exit will be at the top.

Yes, I'm reviewing a parking garage. Why? 'Cause it's great. The first hour is free (with a…read morecaveat, later). That is *PERFECT* for someone passing through for lunch. It's large enough that I've never found it full (same caveat). It's incredibly convenient to reach coming from the north or south. There are street-level exits onto Rankin and Walnut, and apparently a bridge over to the Civic Center on Haywood. The Rankin exit is a block and a half from plenty of good food and coffee on Lexington. The Walnut exit's half a block from Malaprop's & Chocolate Fetish, a block and a half from the Woolworth Walk, and roughly two blocks from Grove Arcade, College St., and Wall St. with all sorts of great food. It's conveniently a little farther from the Thirsty Monk, Jack of the Wood, etc. The chill in the winter might help if you're visiting those. The location is great for a quick lunch & coffee stop. Ok, the caveat. This is the Civic Center's garage. If there's an event going on, event rules apply. The price is higher, and the garage will run out of spots. But that's understandable. I've only encountered that once, and it was later in the evening than I'd like to admit.

Happy Saturday!! I…read morewould like to give a special shout out to Mario for being so helpful and kind today. Not only did he help with sending my package off, but he was also very helpful in suggesting different restaurants to try since I haven't been in the area since 2007. So, the Post Office is very clean, small, yet very efficient. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes and it would have been shorter, if I had my item boxed and ready to ship. I used the priority service so I had to box the items inside. Thank you for providing such a great experience! Until next time, Cheers!

I had no idea this place was going to be as cool as it was, on the inside. The usual irony with…read moreFreemasonry is that these devotees of sacred architecture and geometry meet so often in shabby anonymous buildings with plate glass windows and acoustic ceiling tiles. No such irony here, friends. This particular Masonic Temple is a glorious celebration of detail and craftsmanship. Even the fuse box is beautiful, sitting in plain sight in a glass box in the stairwell, like a lost Joseph Cornell piece. Each doorknob is emblazoned with symbolism in bas relief. The ceiling is expansive, with groined arches recalling classic cathedrals. The original elevator is working, although I think most Americans don't know how to use old-style elevators anymore. The staircase is wide, and recalls the "I don't give a damn" set from Gone With the Wind. The real treasure is the 3rd floor theater. A round, domed room with a curving balcony, painted in dusky pink, chalk blue, and gilt. The acoustics are great, considering the age of the building. The star of the theater is the gorgeous backdrops. So ridiculously gorgeous, they risk upstaging whomever's performing. I've heard folklore (unsubstantiated, but believable) that these backdrops, themselves, are worth millions of dollars on today's market. Layer upon layer of hand-cut, hand-painted detail, that catches the light in amazing, dramatic ways. If you've ever been to the cyclorama in Atlanta, you might recognize a similar style, although the subject matter here isn't military stuff--it's romantic, pastoral, mystical. If you ever get a chance to go to anything at the Masonic Temple, go. Just go. Drop everything and go. Find a babysitter. Cancel your appointments. Go. Especially if you know the event will take place on the 3rd floor. You will be mindblown with awesomeness.

We were headed to that church on the other side of the convention center, so surely they wouldn't ticket the lone car in the parking lot. Guess we were right. Didn't pay for parking, and didn't get a ticket. Mwahaha! This parking lot isn't all that. It's not even properly paved. It was a gravel surface. There was gum in the parking lot, and litter too. Ew. There was no lighting, so how safe was this car? What, exactly were they hoping we were going to be paying for? There was no valet parking option here. McLaurin? More like McLosers.
