What options available for public parking?

The restaurant/retail segment started to thrive in my mid-sized city after the city built multiple parking garages offering free parking on evenings and weekends. Downtown residents and workers can only support a limited amount of commercial activity - it really helps when people come in from the suburbs and surrounding neighborhoods.

I know about the free parking for an hour (2?) near Pitzlic food court. That's what I'm talking about, but I'm not sure how well it is publicized.

That said, Meters can usually be found. 2 of the recent times I parked in Bham I happened to pull into spots with a busted meter - so free parking!
i've never had trouble finding a spot on the street within a block or two of where i'm trying to go.

and it's free at night (usually past 5 pm i think) and on weekends.
