Quite a comedy of misinformation this morning. I came North on Mannhein as I always do - avoiding the horror of the exit past the rental car places.

As I was deciding "do I turn left into E/G or right into F" the blinking signs said "Lot E under construction use F/G" and "Lots F/G OPEN". So I think "great, I'll head to G".

Well when I get up toward G I first look left and note that that entire part of E is empty (save a few orphaned cars) and that the entrances are blocked. The signs also were blank - neither "open" or "closed", just blank. I then look right toward G, see a scattering of empty spots and think "I'm home free".

Well, there were also trucks blocking off the entrance to G. So I think - OK back to F for me, and head toward the main E entrance to do a U-turn and head back.

To my surprise, the main entrance to E was open and people were driving in. So I got my ticked and in I went. Everything to the South of the main entrance was open, and everything to the North was closed. There were actually personnel there, directing us and I wound up just East of the train tracks. There were ACRES of empty spaces on the far South and East sides of the open part - clearly everyone is giving up and assuming it is closed, which it is NOT.

So, my advise? Try the main entance to lot E first. I suspect that when that closes to work on the south part of the lot the other entrance (by the kiss and fly) will reopen.
