East Side/Riverwest: Snapshots: Alterra Humboldt

For the first time in a while, I'm back at Alterra on Humboldt.  It's a rainy night, and there's parking at this location.  Probably explains why almost every seat in the place is taken.  I don't know whether Alterra owns the N. Prospect Ave. building, but if they want to get much use out of it, they really ought to help do something about the parking situation in the area.  (Though I guess they have the future UWM dorm and expanded Columbia/St. Mary's facility working in their favor.)  It's very rare that I can get a parking space within one or two blocks of Alterra Prospect.  Now that gas is cheap again, I'm driving around more, and I'm here to tell you that there's some really sucky places out there which, I'm convinced, survive because of the ease of quick in/out access.
