1021 parking and entrance info
I'm new to the area and have been by 1021 a couple of times but every time there's these dudes hanging out in front of the entrance and it seems a little shady. I tried to park in the back- I'm not sure if there's a back entrance but some guy was ducking behind a garbage can I couldn't tell if he was on a phone or doing drugs so I just left. Any info on how to actually go to this place? I normally don't get this vibe from places but at this one I do. Am I over thinking it? I usually prefer some privacy entering an AMP. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.
RE: 1021 - Shady Entrance
My Spidey sense tingled the first time I went to 1021 and I passed it by as well. There is an entrance from the back parking lot. I've decided to not park there as it's increased darkness / privacy could translate to a greater chance that my car will get messed with or stolen. I park on Broad Street near but not directly in front of the 1021 entrance (depending on what parking is available).
While I also prefer a more discrete front entrance, it is what it is with 1021. The guys hanging out never bother me. They don't even look at me or break their conversation. I think that it can be safely said that they (and everyone else in the general area) don't give a damn. If you can get past your trepidation, there's fun to be had there. Good luck.
Regards,
Ishmael.

Also never a problem there

As others say, there are 2 entrances. Front & side.
The upstairs hallway is a bit spooky. No doubt, but Mika or the acting manager will typically have their door open & waiting to greet you coming up the stairs.
On occasion I visit after dark also without a problem, although the neighborhood can cause a heightened heartbeat.
