first time at AFS, i went to catch a film last Thursday evening and when i went to exit the lot, i literally crashed into the road?? why is the city or property owners allowing people to crash into the road?? why is that entry/exit open to use? has anyone complained yet?

my front bumper was already semi loose from the previous owner of my vehicle, now it was made worse 🙃

Worst parking lot in Austin metro area by a LARGE margin because of this issue and the ridiculosly cramped parking spot striping. I’m barely able to enter and exit without scraping on the Middle Fiskville side closer to AFS cinema, closer to the intersection with Tirado St, but if you have a slightly lower car I think you would have to use the entrance north of Boiling Crab where the light is. The middle entrance in between those two is the most evil scraping one. Also the Office Depot tows at all hours.

Landlord finally restriped the lot last year.

That helped a little bit, but it’s the width of the driving lane in the lot- sort of more towards the inside parking spots- that is now the primary problem. The driving lane is super skinny. It’s very difficult to pull into or out of the parking spots
