The 808 opened on October 2 in a building that fronts Sevier Avenue with no parking lot of its own, and its first sold-out night taught the neighborhood where cars end up. Last Wednesday the venue posted a two-slide parking map and one request. The map above is that map redrawn: green curb marks are street parking in marked spaces, not whole streets; a P is a lot, a $ a paid one, an X a place not to park.

★Where the green is

Closest are three lots the map marks around the door: the lot at Sevier Avenue and Davenport Road, the HoneyBee free lot behind the coffee shop across the avenue, and the Johnson Architecture lot south of the venue off Davenport, which is a paid lot. The street parking the map marks is on Langford and Phillips Avenues, the two residential blocks between Sevier and the river, where posted signs and resident-permit rules apply, and farther west along Sevier near Council Place, where two more lots sit. For the overflow, the map points down Island Home Avenue to the public lot under the James White Parkway, where it crosses the avenue just past Trailhead Beer Market; from there it is about a fifteen-minute walk back to the door. The city's public lot at Suttree Landing is on the way and works too.

★Where the rust is

Two places. The Borderland Tees lot, the private lot immediately west of The 808, which the venue has warned about since opening weekend and which tows; the detail panel on the map shows exactly which parcel it is. And the apartments on the river side of Island Home Avenue across from Trailhead Beer Market, which is the one request in the venue's caption: please refrain from parking across from Trailhead. Saturday adds a wrinkle: Alabama at Tennessee kicks off at 3:30 and ends about when the doors open at seven, so the bridge and Sevier Avenue will be full of game traffic at exactly the wrong moment. The lots reached from the Island Home side avoid most of it.
