We'll pay you to shop Central Lakeview!

Lakeview, one of Chicago's most eclectic neighborhoods, has a little bit of everything to offer... except for parking. With that in mind, Central Lakeview Merchant's Association has rolled out a creative solution to the parking meter problem.

Starting August 28th through September 30th, the Central Lakeview Merchants Association, 3355 N. Clark, is offering consumers a $10 roll of quarters for people who shop, dine or party in the neighborhood. Here's how it works: Spend a total of $100 between two or more stores in the neighborhood, then bring the receipts down to CLMA's office and get the roll quarters. After that how the quarters are spent is completely up to the consumer. Feeding the meter, jumping on the EL or doing laundry are all great options!
