Yes, I was scamed by Pollard Towing company for $220 for parking on this first event Due to parking at the old Gino’s parking lot . Why can’t you charge for parking there instead of allowing good families to be towed and left with no car, kids and no money left in the checking account. This event is named for Feet on Street for a reason. What a bad night. I know it’s wasn’t you intent but you all need to stop people like Pollard Towing for doing this on special events. Several people were towed. The guy ripped me off and who know the damage on my car.
Posted by Vicky Meyer | 15. May, 2009, 6:18 pmI go to Feet on the Street all the time and have never had a problem parking. I park in the lot and there is always plenty of parking. Why didn’t you just park in the lot that they state is FREE—instead of taking a chance?? It was a bad night because you parked illegally not b/c of the Feet on the Street event. Don’t blame the event on your stupid mistake.
Posted by M. Burg | 29. May, 2009, 1:46 pmMy husband and I went to this past Friday’s concert. I have to let you know how much we enjoyed the evening. It was so nice to go to something so relaxing, where there is something for parents and children and starts at a reasonable hour.
Again, fantastic idea.

Posted by Kathi | 28. Sep, 2009, 9:05 amIf you read the signs that people pay money to place on their property, that they pay money to upkeep and rent or own, you would see that you may not park anywhere you please. As a towsonite i understand that it is key to know where you park. Just pay attention.
Posted by Tbird | 05. Aug, 2010, 1:31 amMy family and I have been attending this Friday night event for two years now and thoroughly enjoyed them! I just wanted to let you know that some bands are much better than others and set a more upbeat tone to the event, creating a better atmosphere. I would like to suggest you schedule the Crawdaddies more than once each year. I was especially pleased with their music and enjoyed seeing a mix of all ages enjoying their sounds. I noticed they play at Belvedere Square and The Avenue for similar outside events and draw a large crowd to the local merchants. I would think the Towson merchants would want to draw the same customers more often that once in the season.PLease take this as a positive sugestion because I do love the evnet and simply want it to do well and continue.
