Cheap/Free parking 20-30 minutes walk from Sears Tower?
Anyone know any street parking within 20-30 minutes walk from Sears Tower that is free on weekends? Or at least a meter that is free after 6PM , since I need to be there Friday evening and all day Saturday?
I usually just park in the 31'st lakefront park and ride my bike into town. But am looking for an alternate in case there is rain in the forecast.

Straight west on Adams Street (and side streets), west of Halsted, once you get a block or so past Greektown. Free all the time, although parking is difficult weekdays, but evenings and weekends it's fine. Probably a 15 - 20 minute walk.

Thanks, great location! I wonder how long before these become metered or permit only areas?

It's also great for people who want to leave their car some place and take the Blue Line to the airport as there is a Morgan Street entrance to the Halsted/UIC stop just a couple of blocks south.

On weekends the lots just south of the Congress around Wells/Clark street get dirt cheap.
I noticed this week that there is a lot just south of River City on Wells that charges $4 for the full day on Saturdays and Sundays. That's about a 10-15 minute walk from Big Willie. Some people find the area a bit odd, but it is now quite developed and there will be tons of people on the street during daytime hours and well into the evening.
