    Just think…. this time in 2 years you’ll be able to park in the bat cave under the library and all your worries will be gone.

    I don’t usually bother looking for a space on Main St. The only way to get one is to have the current occupant pull out in front of you. Ashley has spaces sometimes. Mostly, I just go straight to a lot or structure. Yeah, it costs money, but driving around looking for a space costs aggravation, which is much more expensive to me in the long run.

    I’m a structure and lot parker too, unless lightning strikes and I happen on a space by accident. I took the time to look the other day because of the furor about increased parking meter hours.

    On street parking is a matter of luck and patience. The one time I was able to park right in front of the restaurant I was going to (parallel parked successfully on first try) I felt as though I was in one of those swanky car commercials. I’ve had acquaintances park without shame in front of restaurants in clearly marked no parking zones. The ticket was not a deterrent, as it was all about the entrance to the party. Business expense, I suppose.

    Driving around looking for a space is also one of the main contributors to urban congestion, by the way (according to a book I just read-”Traffic” by Tom Vanderbilt, which was a series of confounding revelations).
