Stroll the Historic Pearl 303 Pearl Pkwy., atpearl.com The Pearl is a great starting point for so many date ideas. You can either grab dinner there or bring your own for a picnic on the lawn. If you want a cheaper food option than the sit down restaurants, you can get something to-go in the Bottling Department or the grocery portion of Pullman Market. From there, stroll the Pearl’s park and enter the River Walk, to enjoy one of its nicer sections. Credit: Photo by Nick Simonite

Here’s a semi-secret tip: free parking at the Pearl will continue until Thursday, Feb. 28.

The downtown shopping and dining complex has yet to mention the extension through its social media channels even thought it went into effect Jan. 2. However, the information was posted to its website under the “parking” tab.

The free parking, which the Pearl said will remain in place for the rest of the “Winter Season,” applies to all surface lots Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m.-2 p.m.

Last November , the Pearl began charging visitors to park, sparking an online backlash. Weeks later, the complex revealed in a social media post that it was removing its pay-to-park plan until Dec 29 to entice shoppers.

Now, it appears the Lords of Downtown Retail have extended that access past Valentine’s Day. How sweet of them.
