Let's face it, the days of free parking downtown are G-O-N-E. Permanent loading zones, near-ubiquitous valet … the situation makes the parking that does remain all the more special, like our reader faves: the Bank One garage at Fifth and Lavaca, the William P. Hobby state office-building garage at Fourth and Nueces – aka the "Gayrage" – and the flat expanse of spots underneath I-35 at East Sixth. Each offers parking with relative ease at nominal fees. So do your friends a favor: Stop that endless looping through traffic, and just park your wheels.
