Parking

PLEASE NOTE NEW TOWAWAY ZONES!

WHERE NOT TO PARK:

Parking is available behind many of the businesses along Stone Avenue, EXCEPT UNITED OFFICE BUILDING and MOD SALON, both of which are towaway zones. The landlords there WILL tow cars -- and towing is costly. Please use the crosswalk at Stone and Bennett when crossing Stone Avenue.

In addition, DO NOT park on Bennett, Harcourt, Poinsett or Earle streets. Fines can be as high as $500, and you may get towed there, too!

DO NOT GO DOWN THE RAMP THAT GOES BEHIND THE HANDLEBAR BUILDING TOWARD THE DUMPSTERS. THERE IS NO PARKING THERE!

SO... WHERE DO YOU PARK?

Ample parking is available in the lot between The Handlebar and Canal Insurance Co. (between The Handlebar and Mitchell Street). Please respect Canal's property, and do not park on the main Canal campus!

In addition, parking is available at Palmetto Music, Dahlia Florist and behind the adjacent building (a small insurance company), as well as State Farm, Bang Salon and the CPA firm. PLEASE patronize those businesses that allow us to use their lots. PLEASE KEEP THEM CLEAN!

Please respect our neighborhood!
Arrive early. Arrive in big groups (the more the merrier!)

Don't park on Bennett, Harcourt, Poinsett or Earle streets. You may get fined or towed!

If you're STILL uncertain where to park, ASK US!
