Things to avoid when trying to find parking.
- *DONT GO DOWN BUCHANAN* - If you're heading north, take a left at the fork and use Fillmore instead.
- Don't use the Civic Center, Library or Globe News parking lots - They're the most packed.

Parking is free after 5PM but is not posted on signs. If council changes the parking schedule in the future, you will not know unless you check your parking spot with the app. I feel that this is cumbersome, and your best bet is to just skip side street parking completely.
Parking downtown can be frustrating; I know it has been for me. Stay away from Buchanan and park in areas a less packed which are closer to the best downtown restaurants.
