From my limited experience in Zelie, street parking is probably not hard to find; also, looks like there’s a “Town Center Lot” right behind the store off New Castle & Clay… not sure if that’s free…

I’ve certainly done more than a few shifts at the trolley museum and elsewhere in previous years; maybe not as much as Pete but quite a few weekends fully dedicated to LUG events.

Have people been going the past few months? I don’t think I’m likely to be able to swing it this month but am glad they’re still doing it.

I know Fubo’s TV guide was showing it at 9. But now it’s 8. Subject to change, perhaps.
