I went to visit my friends at Anthony Barnum PR for a very productive discussion on social media today. They’re in the beautiful Frost Bank tower. Maybe all the intellectual horsepower in that room sucked my brain dry but getting in and out of the Frost Bank parking garage is tough. I couldn’t find a consistent way to go up floors, it seems like every floor offers a new and unique puzzle on how to get to the next floor. There are half floors I never did quite figure out to get to…and managed to wind all the way down to the bottom only to find out that wasn’t the visitor’s exit. Damn! Gotta turn around in a tight space and go up and up and up…to find the visitor’s exit. Did the people who designed this parking garage get fired from their jobs designing carnival mazes?
Thanks for sharing your insight with us. I was so inspired after our meeting that I went home, quit procrastinating, and started a blog!
Glad you made it out of the parking garage – it definitely is confusing. The builder obviously did not read the Parking Garage Design for Dummies book. 🙂
This is a great blog. Your presentation was very good. You got us all thinking about whole new directions and possibilities. The garage is still beyond my comprehension. I figured it designed to protect from invading armies, much like the street design in Washington, D.C.
Thanks again, Sanjay.
Great site & great photos. Makes me want to move to Austin (which I’m considering anyhow).
