Default Parking lot near 9th & Lombard... help!

HI... I was looking for a general parking thread... but i guess I missed it somewhere.

Anyway, my parents are coming to visit and I want to find out where they can park for the day. It will be a weekday and I live around 9th and Lombard (moving in next week!). Are there any garages or lots around there? I haven't noticed any, but maybe that's because I don't have a car... Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you know how much it costs, even better!

There is the Superfresh covered parking garage on 11th street. The entrance is between lombard and South, on 11th. It's attached to the superfresh grocery store, but is a public lot. I forget how much it is for overnight, but not too bad, compared to many others. I recommend it to my out-of-town guests. It would be 2-3 blocks from your place.

Default temporary parking permit

If they're just coming for the day it isn't worth it, but in case you didn't know you can go to (or mail) the parking authority and get a temporary permit for a couple of weeks if you ever have people staying longer.

I just wanted to second this motion. This garage is one of the three best parking deals in Center City.

Thank you both. I will probably have them park at the superfresh lot for the time being, and look into the permit for future guests!

Welcome to the neighborhood, Jane! I'm a block away from you. There's no place in Philadelphia I'd rather live. Washington Square West is Philadelphia's best kept secret. Shhh....
