COLUMBIA — A new 10-story parking garage opened Tuesday at Fifth and Walnut streets.
Of 522 permit spaces in the garage, 115 are sold, Columbia Public Works spokeswoman Jill Stedem told the Missourian this week.

Stedem said the city isn't worried about selling the remaining permits.
"We will over time," she said. "The garage hasn't even opened yet. Once the garage is open ... then we expect to sell more."
According to a previous Missourian report, the cost for permits is the same as at other city garages — $50 and $60 per month for uncovered and covered spots, respectively. Permits for reserved spaces cost $100 per month.

I only go downtown for Shakespears and the Post Office.
Best new sightseeing experience in town! Come on up!
What's the deal with the ugly two-tone color? Make it all manila colored or all red-brick colored. It's disturbingly ugly.
The brick color that goes up part way, then the cream stone in a jagged pattern above that, is supposed to blend in with the city's skyline, and perhaps make the BORG appear a bit shorter than it really is.
Only if I can park in one of the first four levels.
I suffer from vertigo.
Was that picture taken in Boonville?
I'm looking forward to being able to take pictures from the top level. Not sure how many times you can do that and stay original, though.
Other than that, I'm used to walking the two miles to downtown to avoid looking for a parking space. It's good exercise, and mediates any effect from an ice cream cone once I get there.
