On-street parking in Philly? -

After what time are you allowed to park in CC without paying at the kiosks/meters? And is it just in cc or anywhere in the city?

I m not aware of parking meters outside of Center City, but a lot of areas have permit parking you have to be careful about. Like the other poster said always look at the block before you park; there are no universal parking rules for the city (or any parking rules if you re from South Philly!).

Every block in town has different times and different days when meters don t have to be fed. Always make sure you read every sign on the block.

What is going on in texas after Christmas? -

Texas will play Florida in the BCS national championship on January 7th. Texas will be the next national champion after a really close game. Final score: Texas: 35 Florida: 31

Would be a bad time to break down, cause a lot of Texans will have brand new chain saws in need of use after Christmas. Time for another massacre sequel...

Just a guess, New Years. They have this thing there called the Cotton Bowl.
