Really cool little town.
My wife won a show and shine at the Rockin Pig Saloon last summer.

Money was for the local food pantry. They do that a lot there. I figure if I can pay $4.50/Bud Light, I can pay $5 to help the street musicians eat.

Lakerat, I was referring to the parking area that has all the painted parking numbers on the slots right across from the bar within like 25- 50 yards of the front porch and you put money into a wooden box..

Yeah, we pulled into one of those slots at first. Then we moved to the free bike parking along the building. If it's crowded, those spots aren't available. I don't know if that has always been that way because I've parked in that big lot before and not paid. Maybe I just missed the part about having to pay.

Eureka Springs does like it's parking and ticket revenue. There aren't many free parking opportunities there. I've never had a problem finding street parking at the meters. It's a little cheaper if you're not staying long, but the streets are steep so you have to be careful.

btw - where are those pics??

If you just want to stroll and shop you can park at the supermarket for free.
