Last year I read about the plan to build a 7,500 seat amphitheater at Tredagar, weeks later I attended a concert at the Raceway’s 6,000 seat amphitheater….as I drove through the acres and acres of parked cars, probably 3,000 or so, I thought where will all these cars park in Oregon Hill, Monroe Ward and Randolph neighborhoods⁉️ OR if there is “one massive parking garage” in the plan (MASSIVE), will 1,000’s of drivers want to pay😆 Anway I’m imagining street parking will be easily overwhelmed. Oh, the concert was Ringo Starr and his All Star Band, great show‼️ 😃
