Accepted Answer

Individuals in vests or hi-vis jackets direct cars into private lots on side streets off Beale between Second and Fourth, collecting 15-30 dollars cash. Some lots are private property the attendants have no authority over; cars can be booted or towed after payment. Use city-operated lots, parking garages at Peabody Place or Memphis Central Station, or licensed valet services at hotels. Pay at machines or staffed booths only.
