Default Dearborn, Delaware, Clark, Chicago circuit...should be able to find a

meter spot. you will not find 'free' parking anywhere there. But you'll have to feed the meter till 9pm every 2hrs....bring quarters...its 30minutes per quarter...

Default Free? Did you say free? That's where I had lived, and free = towable. Go West, Go North

For less expensive parking. I'd park on Clark somewhere in a garage south of division.
