Well I learned that I am not a big city girl. I decided to venture out and go to the city to see what it was like. And let’s just say I failed. The weather was kind of chilly and I didn’t bring a light weight jacket so I thought I’d stop at Target and buy like a workout jacket. I figured it’d be easier to just go to the one in the city since I was going there anyways. Wrong. So I found target then drove around in a circle a couple times trying to find parking. I don’t really understand the meter parking so I thought it would be easier to park in a garage. I pull into one a couple blocks from Target and attempt to back into a spot. I look over and there is a guy who is standing there telling me to stop. Apparently they park your cars for you. I walk to Target. It has an escalator in it! So I’m thinking this is the coolest target ever. But it’s not. I try to find the workout clothes and they literally have like 3 tank tops and a couple leggings. No jackets. I go check out the cute clothing area. Nothing there either. So I end up buying a long sleeve button up. Then I see they are selling masks in packs of 10. I hate wearing the cloth ones I have for a long period of time because they get like moist from me breathing. I decide to buy a pack of these. I also grab a buffalo chicken wrap because I’m thinking I could have like a little picnic in Central Park. Target is close to the Empire State Building so I walk to that to check it out. It’s a really tall building, I guess that’s neat. I get back to the partaking garage and learn I now have to pay $45. I was parked less than an hour. So that’s one fail. Next I decide to drive and see the World Trade Center building. It’s closed and I turned onto a road that was for cleared personnel only, meaning cops, so I have to do a U-turn with a cop right behind me. That was awkward.. and fail number two. I drove through Times Square just to see it. Last spot for the day was Central Park. I almost parked on the street. I went to read the meter thing but again it was confusing. And the sign said commercial parking only until 3:00. I got nervous and just thought the garage would be easier. I walked around Central Park a bit and then found a nice big rock in the sun to sit on for my little picnic. I got out my chicken wrap and the closer I looked at it I realized there was mold all over it!! So there goes my picnic plan. Then the clouds come in and the stupid button up long sleeve shirt wasn’t warm enough. I haven’t eaten all day and I’m starving and just over it all. I decided to just give up on the city and go home. I get back to the parking garage and learn this time I have to pay $75!!!! Like what??! I was there for 50 minutes. And that my friends was fail number 3.
Maybe I’ll go back and try again and trust me if I’d do I will not be driving I will be figuring out public transportation!
