I'm going to see Phantom of the Opera in Toronto next week. Call me foolish, but I was planning on driving from Ottawa and parking somewhere downtown. Any suggestions on good places to park in the area of the Pantages? --- Alan Myrvold 3755 Riverside Dr. uunet!mitel!sce!cognos!alanm Cognos Incorporated P.O.

The evening (after 6) flat rate is not too bad ($3-$5) compared to the rest of downtown. If you don't mind walking a bit, there is also City Hall parking with multiple entrances.

Rumour has it there's still a couple of parking spaces left in North Bay and Sudbury, with six more in Moosenee. Better have a friend reserve one of them for you; they'll be going fast! Brian P.S.

Seriously, though, there should be ample space (for a price) in the Eaton Centre.

Neither would the police officer who took my report when my car stereo was stolen. It was a Tuesday night, and I went to see a concert at the Gardens. My car is a measly Hyundai Excel, and the stereo was not that great. A broken driver's window in March is not fun! I'd recommend any of the many supervised lots around downtown T.O. -- Dean Gaudet, Village 1 South 8 Rm110, Box 460, Waterloo Ont Canada, N2J 4B6 (519)747-1058 | dgaudet@watcsc.waterloo.edu | DGaudet@UNCAMULT.BITNET

Another alternative is to take the GO train from Pickering to Union station. There is free parking at all GO stations and you don't have the problem of driving in downtown Toronto. Cost may be a factor is you have a car load, but for 2 people it is "the better way" (pun intended). Dave "No job is too tough if you pay us enough!"

I parked at the Eaton center, for only $3 for the whole evening. Traffic slowed a bit on the Gardner, but after driving in Ottawa, I found the Toronto drivers sane and cautious. Heading straight downtown wasn't the nightmare that the TTC makes it out to be. Oh, and Phantom was WONDERFUL!!! mmmmmmm .... Just Desserts afterwards, and then ... the long drive back with a good friend. It's just a nifty memory now. --- Alan Myrvold 3755 Riverside Dr. uunet!mitel!sce!cognos!alanm Cognos Incorporated P.O.
