If the prospect of hunting for a downtown parking spot in order to shop like a maniac on Black Friday leaves you cold (or, in my case, existentially nauseated), never fear. The city's Buy Into It campaign (of which SFR is an advertising sponsor, along with a slew of other media partners) is offering free and/or reduced parking for two main city lots starting Friday, Nov. 27 through Jan.3, 2010. Of course, if you shop not downtown, it's easy to find parking because all the non-local big box-enormous-parking-lot-monstrosities are on the south side. Just saying.

Here's the lowdown on the city parking. Again, Nov. 27-Jan. 3
