parking tips for middle class fashion: album release show at off broadway (saint louis 01/31)

hey everyone, figured i'd share a quick heads-up about parking for the middle class fashion show at off broadway on 01/31 because it can honestly be a little messy over there if you don't know the drill. it's a killer venue but they don't have their own dedicated lot, so everyone is fighting for street spots.

the easiest way to skip the whole traffic and street spot chaos is honestly by using an app like Prked. you can rent someone's private driveway or garage right next to off broadway. it's usually way cheaper than trying to find a random lot, and you can book it ahead of time on your phone for a super short walk to the venue. you just pull in and skip the cruising.

if you decide to go the street parking route, which is the only option the venue officially has, you absolutely need to get there early to find something decent because the spots fill up fast for big shows. since 01/31 is a saturday, city parking meters are generally free and not enforced, especially since the show starts at 8:00 pm and meter enforcement usually ends at 7:00 pm. however, all other restrictions like tow zones and time limits are still in effect, so read the signs carefully. try for spots on lemp or potomoac street, and you should be fine.

this is the most important part to avoid a headache: do not park on president street, at the gas station right next door, or especially in the lemp brewery parking lot. the venue is super clear that you will absolutely be towed or risk having your car locked in the brewery lot overnight, and they cannot help you get it back. stick to the public streets and tow-away zones are your worst enemy.

also, it's a city neighborhood, so always lock your car and don't leave anything visible inside- like seriously, don't leave anything visible. if you want zero headache, just use a rideshare like uber or lyft. off broadway actually encourages it because it makes the whole entry-and-exit process way smoother, and honestly, sometimes it's just worth the few extra bucks to not stress about the car.

hope this helps and you have an awesome time at the show.
