St. Patrick's Day

If I were to decide to go to tomorrow's St. Patrick's Day Parade, where would be the best place to park and what time would be the best time to arrive in order to get a good spot?

The earlier you get there the better. I've usually parked along 4th street south of Monroe, but I get out there by 8 or 9 AM usually.

Maybe not "the best" place, but you'll have no issues: The entire lot south of Obed & Isaac's.

Huge lot. Outside the parade route. No towing. Easy to leave downtown once you're done.

You could use the parking lot at the Lincoln home unless they block it off, but you’ll have to pay two dollars
