(Note that this doesn't mean that parking garages are 90% full, my understanding is it means if there were 100 cars in a parking garage on an average weekend in September 2019, there would have typically been 90 cars in the same garage on an average weekend in September 2021.) Interesting metric which definitely matches up with what I've seen re: Center City coming back to life. It's certainly not the same as pre-pandemic, but the nightlife/etc. has really come back strong. And now with more cultural activities coming back, things are looking good, relatively speaking.

I would imagine the parking garages are benefitting from the restaurants having structures in the parking spaces on the street. It’ll be interesting to see how the garages do when the structures start coming down at the end of the year.
