VU students go prime time with valet parking plan

With all the new upscale dining downtown, finding a parking spot anywhere close to where you're going can be a problem.  A well run valet service would be a real asset.  I hope they're successful.

A new version of Uber, only for those that want a fine dining experience without the hassle of parking to get it. I like the idea, and hope it takes off! At least Valpo doesn't have ridiculous parking issues, in terms of charging so much an hour, or limited time parked in a lot, like the downtown Rockford, IL area has. Makes it difficult to revitalize a dead economic area when people have to park 2+ blocks/miles from where they want to dine, so they aren't penalized for putting some money in the coffers of the business economy.
