Is it safe to park my car on the street overnight in the Garden District?|166489

I can_t bear to pay $30 for overnight parking the French Quarter! I figure I can park on the street in the Garden District somewhere, and take the street car to the FQ. I know nothing is gaurenteed, and of course I_ll take anything of value out of the car. The Garden District seems like a nice area, I_ve seen some pretty nice cars parked out there! Any other suggestions for avoiding parking fees are appricated.

  • Yeah, i don_t see that being a problem.
    I mean, obviously use common sense and read posted signs and don_t park next to a fire hydrant or anything...
    Have a good time :)

  • Parking in the old garden district is tight. The problem you might have is that if you take someone_s parking space in front of their house, you are very likely to have someone come after your car with a tow or a wheel lock (a _boot_ as we call them here.)

    The fine for illegal parking will be more than the $30 bucks. This is _penny wise and pound foolish_ if you ask me.

  • Are you worried about it being stolen? HAHAHA

    You better worry about the grimy snakes called the Meter Maids.

    They will tow your car at night, and make you think it_s been stolen.

    Then, after you figure out where your car is at 3 AM, you_ll have to pay them more than $100.00 for the tow to the Impound Lot.

  • HAHA! yes. its safe. i_d be worried more about finding my way around. lol. just dont leave any valuables in clear sight and u should be fine!

    have fun!

    and GO SAINTS!
