I agree with Morgan. The west paid parking lot usually has an attendant. That is about the best I think. They have also added four more downtown cops so there is a greater police presence now.
the paid for lot just west of Sunshine Theater is probably the best place even though it cost money otherwise you can park just North next to the convention center and down the road by the police station for obvious reasons for free I believe.
