Parking
Parking can be a problem in Savannah's National Landmark Historic District (Downtown). The easiest way to waste time and money is to try to use the metered street parking. Most of the parking around Johnson Square, my usual start location, is limited to 2 hours or less. This is NOT enough time to go on a Ramble and return to the car before you get a ticket. Our Meter Maids are the most efficient city employees ever!
Save yourself a great deal of worry and money by using the Bryan Street Parking Deck at the corner of Bryan St. & Drayton St. and then walking one block west to Johnson Square. Please note that the few surface lots downtown are NOT owned by the city and if you use them, you could be towed.
If you will be Rambling on A Saturday, the street parking is free, but usually hard to find after 10am. If by chance the Bryan Street Parking Deck is full, there are two more decks close by: The State Street Deck at the corner of State St. & Drayton St. and the Ellis Square Parking Deck which is entered off the first block of Whitaker Street just off Bay St.
