And just where exactly would you park on Billy Folly Road, even if you wanted to walk??? There is NO place to park there, that is not for a specific location.

Yes, I'm pretty sure it is like a credit card thing you put in a slot to get access to their garage, as I recall. They would have to put in a whole new system AND hire someone to man it, even if they wanted to rent out parking space, which I don't see why they would want to.

They are building across from the Atrium and I am sure they have thought about providing parking spaces for their customers. We should not assume there will be no parking provided and run with all these unfounded ideas.

lol can you wait till January? We will be staying at penthouse apartment above greenhouse, right next to Atrium. Apparently we have complimentary parking somewhere across Billy Folley Rd? I will for sure be interested to see where Lee's is relocating to. Happy to hear they are opening again.

I still don't understand how you can just assume it's not theirs?? Regardless, I don't care to get my car towed, thank you very much. Edit--wait, doesn't the sign say that lot belongs to the GREENHOUSE, not Buccaneer?? Regardless, I'm not parking somewhere that specifically says that it belongs to a different business than I am going to.

When we were there in September I believe the sign said parking for patrons of the Buccaneer Beach Bar along with another sign that showed the lower level lot for BBB. I agree with you Carol, but maybe that's because I believe in following rules. If a sign says parking for XYZ business I won't park there unless I am going to do business with XYZ business. Why risk a nice day ruined by a taxi ride to the tow yard to pay $200 to get your car back? It's no different than someone parking in my driveway, without permission, to visit a friend 3 houses down. You can bet your bottom dollar that car would be towed off my property. To those that wish to risk it, don't cry when you come back from a different business and find your car gone, be it in SXM or USA.

"I don't think BBB will let you park in their lot to go to Lee's." BBB can't control or stop someone from parking in the upper lot along Billy Folly as I don't believe it really is theirs. I have found parking there numerous times in May/JUne but it isn't high season then. Which "upper lot"? There is a small lot directly across from Greenhouse and up a slight hill that had Greenhouse Only parking signs in it the last time I was there but that has been 18 months ago. The lot on the same side as BBB and adjacent to them (slightly up the hill) had BBB Only signs the last time I was there, which was also 18 months ago. While I will agree, parking can be rather random at many places on SXM, I have seen cars towed many times from different places that indicated the parking was for their patrons only. Perhaps when the restaurants in question here lease the restaurant property, it also comes with a lease for a specific number or parking spaces also.

The BBB upper lot is theirs! BBB is three pieces of property. Two deeded and a water rights long lease! Thanks Neil.

The past few weekends, cars were double parking and blocking cars in front of the small grocery store across the street from the Greenhouse, and cars were parked on the sidewalk in front of the Greenhouse and up to and including the entrance to the BBB.

There is also a large new building going up right beside it and it looks like a parking garage on the main floor so that may be a possibility. Lee's actually looks quite small and is being built right in front of their residence and directly across from the Atrium. I was very surprised they chose that location for several reasons, but I guess they won't have to move in the future if they own that land.

Sorry, they already are WHAT? Pretty vague response but since it appears it goes back to Scubaman's original post of: " They are supposed to be rebuilding alon Billy Folly RD opposite of the Atrium." Just a guess on my part, they are already rebuilding ALONG BIlly Folly Rd, opposite Atrium.

With the growth along the concrete edges looks like it's been there for awhile. Interesting what will happen to that one side when the heavy rains come. Looks like a water line stain there already. Agreed, it does not look to be brand new. I think the line you refer to as a "water line stain" may be more where the stucco was applied over the block (or whatever is underneath) and is as far down as it goes. That is if we are looking at and referring to the same thing.

Well, we all know water runs downhill and that area is prone to flooding.
I believe Lee lives up in that area. I wonder if by chance this might be his house or another property he owns and thay are adding on or converting to make it a restaurant?

He owns that property. In my opinion, it’s crazy that he decided to put his restaurant in such a congested area with nowhere to park. Thank you and I agree. If you remember, Lee willingly did away with 1-2 parking spaces to put the big fish out front at the prior location.

Years ago, back when Greenhouse was Indiana Beach and BBB was almost new, I believe there was a restaurant up those stairs if I am remembering correctly, and if it is the same building. Don’t remember the name just remember being there,
If it is the same building, I remember there being about 4 parking spaces in front. There’s always plenty of cars looking for spaces there along with all the traffic headed to SBR and to Pelican Key. We love Lee’s but this doesn’t seem like a great location. Hope it works out.

Perhaps he is looking for a location where he will not have a lease and cannot be kicked out arbitrarily? But, it is SXM so most anything is possible.

No idea where Rusty Bucket is located. Rusty Rocket is at the curve heading towards the airport parking lot. Where the Anguilla ferry USED to be. Great flavored burgers, but the tables and atmosphere of being on the road behind the bolders left much to be desired. As did the fact he wouldn't serve them with lettuce, tomato, and onion....as it isn't the way HE eats them..,.lol ((sorry for the thread stray))

At one time it used to say the parking was for the restaurant that was across the street on the other side of Billy Folly. Who knows who has it. Might just be who puts the signs up first and stakes a claim to it. LOL I drove by today and there are at least three signs that say that strip is parking for BBB only. I have pictures but no time to post them now.

Scubaman, years ago when that restaurant was le Bec Fin clients used to park there as there were no signs, but after they closed and for several years now it has clearly been marked as Buccaneer parking. Also more Buccaneer parking down below right by the restaurant. Buccaneer is a busy spot and they need all the parking they can get!
