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.
