The @MizzouParking website says that garage closures will be announced on Twitter, but this was not the case on Monday when Turner filled due to the Conley closure, I was redirected to Hitt and then was ticketed for unauthorized parking. Any online announcements moving forward?

@brian_lumley It shows how long it has been since I purchased a newspaper out of one of these boxes… but how would one even pay that much to the box? They look way too beat-up and old to have credit card readers, and I rarely carry rolls of quarters… 🤯
