Parking's elevated future

Robotic parking lots are the next big thing. You just drive your car in onto a platform and you leave. The platform moves down somewhere inside a building and stacks your car in an efficient manner. On your way back you just ring up a special number on your cell phone and it'll be ready and waiting on the same platform. These suckers exist in a bunch of places, such as Washington, Tokyo, and Dubai and one day we'll get 'em here. However in 1952 a similar system already existed on St. James Street West, (north side, somewhere around University in an area that has since been totally demolished). It featured an elevator for cars that hauled 'em up to the roof. It could fit five dozen big old clunkers up there. Long live progress!
