[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pike and Rose has cannibalised Rockville Town Center.[/quote]

I’d much rather got to Rockville Town Square. However, the charge for parking is ridiculous, so I go to Rio more often. Especially for movies, food, and Target.

Pike and Rose is a nightmare. Too much development at once.[/quote]

So crowded, no one goes there.

Rockville Town Centre is not crowded and that is the problem. [/quote]

Pre-pandemic, RTC was doing ok, but some key places closed and the spaces are still empty. It has potential, but I know people don't like the parking situation, and there aren't as many "draws" as at Pike and Rose or Rio. I go to Rio pretty often thanks to Target, and I'd probably go to Pike and Rose more if it wasn't such a nightmare to drive there. Honestly, I'm surprised there aren't multiple accidents a day there, with all the pedestrians and horribly designed parking garages. I'm sure they want it to be walkable, but then is it only for people who live within walking distance?[/quote]

RTC and Pike both have 2 hours free.  Parking is the same.[/quote]

Parking isn't the same. When I park at RTC, the garages are big enough for cars to fit, and there aren't pedestrians jumping into the road all over the place. Also, people are mostly driving like normal people and not like entitled a-holes. So yes, the parking FEE is the same, but the parking experience is definitely not.[/quote]

I keep reading that people hate rtc because the parking is terrible . I don't get it. [/quote]

Maybe they hate it because they've never tried Pike and Rose. :) [/quote]
