Why Are We Putting Valet Parking At The Library?

I stopped by the public library on East Main last Tuesday to return a book on local irrigation history. I was surprised to find a young man in a crisp vest standing near the entrance, holding a sign that suggested he was ready to park my sedan for me.

I asked the gentleman if there was a fire or perhaps a flash flood I hadn’t heard about on the radio. He just smiled and told me it was a “complimentary luxury service” for the new mixed-use development currently hovering over the parking lot. It seems we now have valet parking for the condos, which happens to occupy the same square footage where I used to park to read the newspaper in peace.
