Holiday happy hour
Please join your neighbors for a December holiday happy hour at Pickles Pub (near the Sugarmore entrance) starting at 6:30 pm on Friday, December 3rd.
There will be an admittance fee collected at the door ($10 for adults, $5 fee for kids, cash only) that will include an appetizer buffet and drink specials for Ridgely’s Delight. A separate cash/credit drink bar will be available all evening.
This is a “vaccination preferred” event. We ask that all attendees maintain a safe social distance and respect boundaries of others while there.
Virtual parking is in effect
Your area 5 stickers and paper visitor’s passes have expired and everything has gone virtual.
To obtain your virtual permit(s) and guest pass, you have to create a new VPP account with the Parking Authority and submit the requisite documents. This can all be done online. Visit https://pabc.myparkinginfo.com/
Videos are available online showing you how to create a new account, purchase permits and to schedule visitor’s permits.
How can you tell if that car parked in front of your house for weeks has a valid permit now that we don’t have stickers? You can easily enter the tag number into the parking authority’s online ‘Plate Checker’ at
