Paying to Park at DC USA

Have you been to the new DC USA shopping mall in Columbia Heights? While it is an orgy of suburban big box stores, I have to admit that I am a frequent patron.

From the Target that wants to serve booze to the Staples for all my home office needs, I shop there often. But even though I also often drive there, I refuse to park in the DC USA parking lot.

Hard to enter and exit, and without a grace period for store patrons, I would rather street park or use the Bling Bling Giant and grab needed foodstuffs for a free two hour park.

What do you do?
