Hi guys!
I am going to be visiting my friend in Philly for the first time. I have never been to that neighborhood or Philly in general. Here is the question, what are the general rules for street parking? Also are there any recommendations as to parking near Girard Station-BSL (north broad street)? I will be arriving around 9:30 pm. Thanks in advance!!!

Where are you going (what part of Philly) and how long will you be in Philly? Do you plan to use your car while there?

I guess the area is considered Temple, i dont really plan on using the car, maybe once or twice while there, going there for the weekend, leaving monday. The house is footsteps away from the subway station called Girard Station like where the Mcdonalds is. I hope this info is helpful!

I think parking is free in that area on the street, some areas can be a little sketchy

there may time limits during the day of two hours

Be careful in that neighborhood! I don't want to read about you in the newspaper.

Thompson (1 block) and Master (2 blocks) are right up from Girard. Neither of them have parking stipulations and I think are fairly safe. I used to park on Master all the time for class, even for my evening classes. I would just suggest checking on it a couple times a day, like when you go out or before you go in for the evening. Parking on Temple's campus is also a possibility. It may be a bit farther away, but your car might be safer with the security around. The walk from Temple's campus to Girard is very doable.

Enjoy your visit!
