$12 a minute for airport parking? Denver officials need to address<\/h4>\n

The City and County of Denver needs to correct the predatory pricing used at the Denver International Airport parking garages. I got charged $12 a minute (not a day, not an hour \u2014 a minute) to park in this garage.<\/p>\n

Since I was going to be out of town for only a day, I decided to pay the $35 to park in the garage. However, after navigating Thanksgiving crowds, I ended up being in the garage for 24 hours + 3 minutes (according to their receipt). They charged me a full additional $35 for those three minutes, that\u2019s almost $12 a minute. \u201cCustomer service\u201d would not help, and I was told to take it up with the City and County of Denver. This is unethical pricing and needs to be adjusted for those who just miss the 24-hour cut-off.<\/p>\n

At the very least, I want to make sure the community is aware of this issue and doesn\u2019t fall prey as I did.<\/p>\n

Support Jewish Family Service as they support our community<\/h4>\n

Re: \u201cAgency marks 153 years of providing wide spectrum of community support<\/a>,\u201d Nov. 30 news feature<\/p>\n

As this month of increasing need is here, Jewish Family Service is a memorable example of an agency enriching our entire community through its many services. Both staff and volunteers strive to help people in metro Denver who require a helping hand. Supporting that goal is more important than ever during these challenging times.<\/p>\n

\u2018Memories of the downtown YMCA will linger on\u2019<\/h4>\n

Re: \u201cYMCA leaves building after 119 years<\/a>,\u201d Dec. 3 news story<\/p>\n

\u201cFor 119 years, Denverites have come to the building at the corner of East 16th Avenue and Lincoln Street,\u201d according to The Denver Post.\u00a0 But the long and memorable era of the Downtown YMCA will finally come to an end on Dec. 30.<\/p>\n

I was reminded of my first visit to the downtown YMCA in 1954 when I was sent to Camp Chief Ouray for summer camp. In those days, Harry Ukelele taught boys how to swim. A coffee shop at the front entrance served hot meals. A hotel provided comfortable rooms at an affordable price. Even a chapel was available to guests.<\/p>\n
