Who doesn't like free parking...but is it really free or just a confusing message? The sign…read moreentering clearly says parking is free before 4 PM and all day Sunday. The website says payment is not required for vehicles parked in the garage before p.m. and can remain in the garage after 4 PM for no additional cost however drivers at exit the garage after 4 PM will be required to pay the five dollar fee upon return. I entered at 2 o'clock and when I pulled up the parking app, it made me pay five dollars . I tried it a few times and then finally gave up. $5 to park your car on a Saturday night in Delray is still pretty good. They either need to change the website or notify the parking app so you won't be charged.

Three cheers to the City of Delray Beach for providing a parking garage at the epicenter of where…read moreyou want to be, a block off of Atlantic Ave and at the entrance to Old School Square and steps from Pineapple Grove. It is free to park on Sunday, free before 4 PM, and $5 after 4 p.m. until midnight Monday through Saturday. Compared to what garages charge in Miami, it is a bargain. You can pay at the kiosk or through the app. There is even a cultural arts center, Arts Garage on the first floor along with a Chamber of Commerce office. If you have a disabled parking permit you can park anywhere in the city for free whether on the street or in a garage. How nice is that! Delray Beach makes finding a parking spot easy peasy, even during popular events. I have used this garage many times through the years to attend the farmers market, a concert, art fairs, the 100 ft Christmas tree, or to dine at one of the many restaurants on Atlantic Ave. There is also a lot of free parking nearby at city lots and on the street if you don't mind walking a few blocks but for pure convenience and a great view of Old School Square from the top, you can't beat the garage.

Two of the tickets I actually paid for parking but was slightly off by some time when renewing the time. I never intentionally parked without paying. I have never had such issues with parking before. I don't know what's going on with the parking systems in this garage but I refuse to park here ever again.

But it still stands, pointing out a bit of history and drama that is now over a century old. There is parking nearby and don't forget to feed the meter. The marker reads, "The old shipwreck know as the Delray Wreck rests at the bottom of the ocean in 25 feet of water about 150 yards offshore the south end of Delray's municipal beach. The wreck is broken and scattered into five sections and has long been one of the most popular diving spots in South Florida. "The S.S. INCHULVA was grounded and wrecked by a fierce hurricane on September 11, 1903. Under the command of Captain G.W. Davis, the 386 foot steel hulled British steamship was bound for Newport News, Virginia from Galveston, Texas carrying wheat, cotton, lumber and a crew of 28 men. "The storm struck about 5 p.m., tossing the ship and causing the cargo to shift. Steering became impossible, so Captain Davis put out both anchors, but to no avail. The anchors parted and the INCHULVA grounded and was ripped apart. Nine crew members were lost. "Dawn revealed to the battered crew that land and a town were just a short distance away. By noon, all the men except Captain Davis and two mates had landed on shore in a small hastily-built raft. They found hot food and coffee at the Chapman House, a local hotel, where many of Delray's residents had taken shelter during the storm. "The nine seamen who lost their lives were buried on the ridge overlooking the ocean where the ship had gone down. The surviving crew members were treated, paid and sent to New York. "Before leaving for their homes, each crew member signed the guest register of the Chapman House. Under their names they wrote, "Shipwrecked in the S.S. INCHULVA, September 11, 1903, landed on a raft September 12th and received every kindness and attention at the hands of Mrs. Chapman." "Captain Davis, his Chief Officer, a 2nd Officer and a seaman from the ship were brought before the Naval Court held at the British Vice Consulate at Jacksonville on September 19th. The Court exonerated the Captain and the crew from all blame." This is marker number F-327 and it was erected in 1980 by the Historic Palm Beach County Preservation Board in cooperation with the Florida Department of State.
