There’s a new sheriff in town at the building on the corner of 33rd Avenue West and West McGraw Street ? the?structure that houses Starbucks. If you’ve ever parked your car in the lot below the building, you know how convenient?it is when you visit Howard?s coffee shop or any business in the Village.
Take this as notice: The two-hour parking limit for customers of the building is now being strictly enforced. Some?patrons and employees of Starbucks found out the hard way when a building maintenance worker informed those?violators of their infraction. Threats of having cars towed were given, according to those who spoke with?Magnolia Voice.
?I?ve been here for year and no one has ever said a word about anything.?We won?t park there anymore because were too scared,? said one Starbucks employee who did not want her name?used.
When asked to explain, the building?s maintenance man said the two-hour limit was newly mandated, 7 a.m. to 7?p.m., because of complaints from tenants. The parking area is clearly posted, and now yellow warning stickers are?affixed to vehicle windows as a notification to violators.
You?ve been warned.
