Hi everybody! So I just got tickets for a show in April at the Roxian. I've never been there and I was wondering what parking in that area is like. The site I got tickets through is offering an event parking pass for $40 but I was looking for other options if possible?

There is a shopping plaza across the street. I park back in there. It's free. 2 minute walk.

This is perfect, thank you so much

I do the same, just don't park in front of any of the businesses that are still open at the time and no one will care. There's plenty of room there.

That's totally fair! Love it

Rite Aid is permanently closed, you're probably fine parking there.

Well there's no way I'm not taking advice from Bob Loblaw, he's Very Good

Oh, wow. They were open last time I was at a show there. That plaza has to be 1/2 empty now.

Yeah it’s weird, the parking lot was always full but for some strange reason it must not have meant they were busy?

Thank you for this. I saw a couple threads from 1-3 years ago asking this same question, but figured the area/parking situation may have changed since then. Good to see it hasn't lol

It's mckees rocks. Nothing ever changes down there.

What show are you seeing?

Skinny puppy and sunny day real estate are each coming in April, which was my college experience wrapped up in 2 very different bands.

McKees Rocks has changed pretty dramatically since the start of Covid. When Comcast went full remote a significant number of the businesses closed down.

So it got worse?

lydriseabove t1_jaeuqxl wrote on February 28, 2023 at 10:46 PM

Yes.

edgarallanhoe92 OP t1_jaeiupc wrote on February 28, 2023 at 9:26 PM

lol I honestly never spent enough time in McKees Rocks to know

The singer for HIM is doing a solo tour! I never got to see them as a teen before they stopped touring the US and split up, so I'm losing my mind lol

Oh man, I saw that Sunny Day Real Estate was coming but I didn't realize it was that soon

So stoked for this show!

Dude me too!

First concert I ever went to was HIM back in 05(maybe 06)

edgarallanhoe92 OP t1_jaev4cz wrote on February 28, 2023 at 10:48 PM

That's so cool. I would've loved to see them when they were together

xfocalinx t1_jaevuvx wrote on February 28, 2023 at 10:53 PM

I had a friend willing to give me a free ticket to their goodbye tour, in Philly..I didn't end up going. Kicking myself in the ass for that one

edgarallanhoe92 OP t1_jaezlhv wrote on February 28, 2023 at 11:20 PM

Oh shit. Yeah, I can't blame you. The end of an era

I’m so happy I stumbled on this. I got tickets for a show in September and had the same question!

What show???

edgarallanhoe92 OP t1_jaep2s1 wrote on February 28, 2023 at 10:07 PM

Ville Valo! He was the singer for HIM

ichigoem90 t1_jaeqr43 wrote on February 28, 2023 at 10:18 PM

Oh shit! I used to love HIM, had no idea Ville was touring!

edgarallanhoe92 OP t1_jaer8ks wrote on February 28, 2023 at 10:21 PM

They broke up a few years ago and he's doing a solo US tour to promote his new album!
