Critical Review of Southgate Market Parking Garage

As a long-time member of the LA Fitness gym located at Southgate Market, I have unfortunately witnessed a decline in the quality of the parking experience over the past six months. The parking garage, once a convenient amenity, has become a source of frustration and inconvenience for gym-goers and shoppers alike.

One of the most pressing issues is the ticket kiosks. Far too often, these machines malfunction or process validation tickets and payments with significant delays.

Overall Southgate is convenient for shopping variety with DSW, Marshall's, Whole Foods, Michels, Starbucks and Panera (love that Broccoli...

My #2 Whole Foods to shop at. It's like a Super Store for what we hope to he high quality products for high arse prices! I went in for the Curry Chicken Salad and they didn't have it. I was patient then got miffed the somewhat cantankerous older lady kept ordering two slices of varied meats from the deli. What really was getting my goat was the deli worker was just as slow as she was and he had to be younger than...
