Vent: I paid $14 to park at the Botanic Gardens and the free lot trick on 11th actually worked
Got there at 9am on a Saturday and the garage was already $14, so I tried the residential streets off 11th like a guy at work mentioned, and finding a spot took maybe 6 minutes which beat circling the garage for 20, but now I'm wondering if there are other free spots around there I'm missing.
