Parking Primer

posted by Micol Hebron


Here is some parking information that should be included in the Conference literature next year:

There is free, all-day parking on the streets 2 blocks west of the convention center.

Parking in the lots nearby the convention center costs $3 in the morning, $10 by midday, and $20 by evening.

The parking lot at the Convention Center rivals the Bonaventure in its Postmodernity. Once inside, it is nearly impossible to tell which way to go, which way is out, and when you’ll ever see daylight again. It reminded me a bit of the parking garage in the Wiz (which, if you’ve never seen, you should Netflix it today!)

So the parking was better this morning, but the little convenience only made me miss the spirit of yesterday, of all those immigrants moments away from becoming citizens, of the end of long, painful journies. The stories of the hall yesterday gave the conference a vitality that it lacks today.

Congratulations New Citizens!!! We are happy you can join us.

That said, however, there was a sort of spirit this morning. I witnessed a couple of great talks that really cheered me up. Matthew Biro from the University of Michigan’s talk on the Bechers and Andreas Gursky was stellar, pointing out the changes in how the Bechers approached their work over time and how Gursky is a logical extension of their teaching. What a clear, well put together presentation, my notes on the talk unfolded like an outline and then were pulled tight at the end. We all could take a lesson from this guy. (more…)
