hey,

1. has anyone read about the midnight madness sale going on in the square tomorrow night? what stores are worth going to and are involved?

2. whats the closest full grocery store to the square?

3. are there any not-permit parking streets near the square? whats the closest way to park near the square w/out a permit?

& if a lot with meter parking says "8am to 8pm" does that mean you can only park there 8-8, or that you only have to pay the meter from 8-8?

Please comment!!!!

Thanks!!!!!!

For meters in the square, you only have to pay from 8am to 8pm. The rest of the time you can park there for all 12 hours if you like. There is a lot behind Brooks that is open in the evenings (timed during the day .. I think two hours). Otherwise, most of it is Somerville sticker parking.

As for a grocery store, Shaw's/Star Market at Porter is the biggest closest one. There's also Pemberton Farms on Mass Ave (closer, organic, smaller selection).

Don't know about the midnight madness...

Grocery Store

Depending on time of day (or side of Davis Square) it can be a shorter drive to the Foodmaster on Broadway past Teele Square. It's definitely further than the Shaw's but parking is much easier.

there is also a public metered lot on Day St.; one near the building that houses Au Bon Pain, across the street from Orleans off of Holland; small metered lots on Grove St. and Cutter Ave. (both cross between Highland and Elm); a few metered spots in the gap by the lights where Elm and Summer split; metered street parking all over the square; and a few small patrons-only lots behind some of the Davis Sq. businesses, which is fine presuming you're patronizing the applicable shop(s).

Aren't the meters hours 8am to 6pm?

Not any more. The hours have been extended for much the same reason street sweeping has been extended: more ticket revenue.

8 am to 6 pm on streets, but 8 am to 8 pm in parking lots.
