Just be sure to read all the street/parking signs. They are changed now and the and in many residential areas you have to have a special paid for parking permit to park there.

Where would a good place to park a small RV for the weekend? Hopefully close to Common Grounds. Thanks!

What do you think the take would be if we slept in a car in the parking garage? This is my first year.

Cops in Gainesville are dicks.

Is there any block close to holiday inn, where its good to park while registration on friday?

The Holiday does have a parking garage so you might be able to park in there temporarily. Also, there is meter parking on the south side of University Avenue, eat of 13th St. It is a maximum of two hours I believe. Northwest of the corner of University and 13th is predominantly neighborhood decal parking but there are a couple of meters on NW 14th St.

Make sure you do not park in a business' lot and run to the Holiday Inn. Towing companies are complete assholes here and will tow you in a heartbeat.

Thanks.. last year I just park at holiday inn, but I heard somebody got towed here? and there was a lady from holiday inn running around the cars all the time, so I thought I rather park somewhere else and walk a couple of blocks, also its probably hard for them to figure out if somebody is checking in the hotel or just at registration..

Last year I managed to snag a parking spot at the Holiday Inn during registration and my car was fine. This year I'll probably get dropped off while the rest go to the hotel or something.

i got towed when i was at registration last year lol. i'll be riding my bike this year.

thanks again to tree580 for giving me a ride to my car!

You have to have a special parking permit they give you to park there.

And yeah, previous thread on this topic:

I imagine i'll probably park at the McDonalds and walk over to registration.. if my car is towed i'll just pick up some food inside for the receipt and say i was inside lol. I would imagine that would work anyway.

bad idea city

I'm not sure what time you all are planning on registering, but you can park at any lot on campus after 4:30 and just walk to registration. After 4:30 on friday they won't be ticketing until monday morning.

Is this a terrible idea?

its kind of far. im just going to bike over, i think.
