Parking isn't bad in CC just spendy. However you can park 2 hours at the
12th & Filbert garage for $3 if you buy more than $10 from a merchant at
RTM and get the ticket validated. I don't go to CC very often except
recently because a family member had major surgery at Jefferson.

I typically hit Washington St when driving in Philly. As you said
parking is easy. I visit either or both of the Vietnamese malls or the
couple great Mexican places. Next time I want to try an Indonesian place
a friend told me about.
