However, despite my good intentions, I drove my SUV there the first three days. The first day was legitimate because I couldn't walk carrying my computer and all my new desk supplies. The second day I needed to look cute in my high heels, and the third day I was just too lazy.
Parking in Mill Valley is easy if you're a local and know your way around, right? After several loops around town past two hour metered parking spots, all full by the way, mysterious "Employee Only" parking spots, and lots of red curbs, I lucked out and found the perfect four hour free spot. The space fits two cars perfectly between two residential driveways. No lines to park between, no meters, no RSVP stickers needed (whatever they are).
Day one I pulled right in to this magic spot, in front of a similar SUV, went to the office, worked on a few deals and went home. Day two I went right back to MY spot. This time the SUV was also parked there but had moved forward about a foot and a half. I parked carefully, went to work, mapped out a few must see homes for my buyers, and went on tour. The third day the SUV had left me a space suited for a Volkswagen Bug. Nevertheless, I managed to park without protruding into the driveway. I later returned to a note on my windshield warning me that I was "getting too close" to their driveway – phew, at least it wasn’t a ticket! info@millvalleypd.org
From now on I think I will park my car in front of my own driveway. It's much easier and almost as close, unless of course it's raining, or I have a blister on my toe.
