Best to pay for the long-term parking at O'Hare and call it a day

Wabash or Michigan, South of Cermak is walking distance to the Red Line and several buses.

FWIW, it's also walking distance to at least two different housing projects.

1. You might be able to find someone in the neighborhood that could be helpful in lending a hand and giving out some of the Lincoln Park zone permits

2. Yes, I have checked the dates, and they are for consecutive days. From what I can recall it's illegal to drive with obstructions in your window. A car displaying 7-10 permits would more than likely be in violation of this law.

Protip: The adhesive on the parking permits for this year tends to leave a paper/glue residue behind when removed. I usually make sure the permit is firmly wedged in between the window and dash and I skip putting the sticker directly on the window using the adhesive backing.

This is false.

Lincoln Avenue, for example from Armitage to Webster is NOT zoned. Armitage, for example is NOT zoned from Sedgewick to Larabee (maybe even Halsted).

There are plenty of "boulevards" in these neighborhoods that are not zoned parking.

Or drive an hour west and park on my property for $4.75 a day.
