| PARKING | |
|
Pay kiosks on street, Free park in lot M-F after 6pm, Sa-Su 10-10 If you are new/visiting Chicago, you may soon discover that parking/driving here is…challenging. That being said, it is manageable if you know what you are doing. |
|
| PARKING TIPS | |
|
Pay close attention to all signs. What that means is, don’t park on the side streets after 6pm unless you have a guest 383 pass (from a resident). Otherwise, before 6pm you can park there free, except on days when there is street cleaning. Again, pay attention to any and all signs. Do not park in front of fire hydrants, sidewalk ramps, yellow curbs and driveways. Do not park in front of one business and go to another neighboring business. For example, 7-11 next door to The Chicago Diner contracts with a parking lot enforcement company. They will boot your car if you leave that parking lot and go to Chicago Diner even for 5 minutes. There is a clearly designated parking lot for Chicago Diner which is available WEEKDAYS AFTER 6pm and WEEKENDS from 10am-10:30pm. The lot is private property; parking is allowed with the understanding that Chicago Diner nor Gerber Auto accept no liability for any damage or harm to person or property that may result. DO NOT LEAVE ANY BAGS, VALUABLES, BACKPACKS, SUITCASES, CAMERAS, OR PURSES VISIBLE IN YOUR CAR FROM THE OUTSIDE. This goes for anywhere in Chicago. Someone will smash your window and take your stuff. Even in broad daylight. Even in nice neighborhoods, like Lakeview. Even if it is a gym bag with ratty sneakers & a water bottle in it. |
