We all know what’s like to try and find parking in Boston or any busy area. Brenda says by the time she reached her 30s, she started gauging her interest in dating someone based on whether she was willing to risk meeting him somewhere that didn’t have valet parking. Driving around in circles looking for a parking space on a dark and rainy night was a great way to clarify your feelings about someone.
Now that we’re starting to venture out of our homes a little more, we can eliminate the “is this person/activity worth looking for a space” variable. There are several websites and apps that help us navigate parking in Boston and many other cities. Here a few that get high marks from reviewers…
Parkmobile – bloggers call this the top parking app for Boston. You can use it to find a parking space, and even barter with garages to get the most competitive price. It also has information on free and street parking. They offer 24 hour support, along with features to help you find your car and keep a list of favorites parking spaces.
