Someone did the math and found that typically there are somewhere between 4 to 5 parking spaces for every car. Its quite ridiculous. Before the 9th Street Garage replacing the demolished Century Building, someone studied how many spaces were empty on a regular basis, and it turned out that within a few blocks there were literally hundreds of empty garage spaces every day!, but the developer demanded parking right across the street. to this day there are several levels of that garage that are never filled, although in late 2015 some residents of the Arcade Building will be parking there.Vanishing STLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08798287914185180625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006035116970579216.post-46515242946694643082014-04-26T23:17:54.956-05:002014-04-26T23:17:54.956-05:00Just when I think I've heard about every weird...Just when I think I've heard about every weird fetish imaginable....I realize StL has a Parking Fetish.

What a sad picture this is compared to the earlier state of the landing. Hell, I remember my dad (a sales agent for another company seeking business with Switzer's) brought home some finished product one night in the early 70's, still warm from production and in the bag.samizdatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006035116970579216.post-43023999334194829802014-04-01T08:47:40.118-05:002014-04-01T08:47:40.118-05:00The design looks nice.
