Historic Main Street draws real crowds, and its older layout of angled spots and limited private lots creates parking situations that catch a lot of visitors off guard.
What Actually Gets Cars Towed Here
- Parking in a spot reserved for a specific business after hours
- Overstaying a posted time limit during a busy event weekend
- Parking in a private lot without realizing it is not public
Look for Posted Signage First
Just because a lot looks open or other cars are parked there does not mean it is available to the public — confirm signage before assuming. Historic districts often mix public and private parking closer together than newer developments.
If You Are Towed From Main Street
Legitimate private-lot tows are required to post the towing company’s contact information at the scene. If no sign is visible, business or property management nearby can usually point you to who authorized it.
