haha thats awesome logic. Depends on how long you stay of course.. if your just loading/unloading (@roosterhavoc ) in a Penske Truck you're probably better off paying the $3.00To anybody that visits new Orleans if u want to stop at a store or restaurant just park right in front don't worry about finding a pay to park lot. When u get a parking ticket (and you will) it will be $20.00 and u have a month to pay via online. So you can either pay upwards of $15.00 then at a pay to park and hope u remember where you're parked, or park right smack in front on the street and have a month to pay $20.00. Yep it does make that much Sence
