Reply to comment by poppunksnotdead in If you were going to get a membership at a gym/art center/makerspace etc.. (somewhere that you would go 1-2 times per week) Would you be deterred from signing up if there was only street parking nearby? Located in Riverside/Locust Point by hyperr129

Hmmm that’s a good idea too! I haven’t looked in that area yet. I’ll add it to my list.

My initial thought is that it would be important to have reserved parking, but I was hoping that maybe people in the city are used to the parking situation so they don’t really mind.. I personally would probably be annoyed if it wasn’t within walking distance

that attitude is how most other neighborhoods operate, but in places like sobo / fed and canton, it is more about not having a parking space to return to if you leave.

i don't know the vibe you are looking for with your establishment, but check out bar licorice (no longer open) - was one of the more artsy establishments in the neighborhood and got plenty of suggestions from people but never seemed to get enough business. i wish it was still open because it was a unique spot that also stood out in the area - but from a business standpoint it makes sense considering the neighborhood demographics.
