College of Architecture Causes Parking Grief For Neighboring Business

Since the movement of the College of Architecture to the old Hobby Lobby location on Main Street, The Cellar, a local liquor store and neighbor of the college, has had problems keeping open parking spaces for its customers.

Early in the Fall 2008 semester, shortly after the college moved, The Cellar employees noticed that few parking spots were left for their customers. They had their landlord paint designated parking spots to reserve them, but according to the employees, the issue is still unresolved.

"We still have customers come in and complain [about parking] all the time," says Cellar employee Chrysta Daebler.

College of Architecture students can help the situation by carpooling or riding bicycles to class.
