parking

Parking is the act of stopping a vehicle, exiting it, and leaving the vehicle unoccupied for more than a brief time. It is against the law virtually everywhere to park a vehicle in the middle of a highway or road. In all countries where motor vehicles are in common use, specialized parking facilities are routinely constructed in combination with most structures to facilitate the coming and going of the structures' users.

Parking facilities include indoor and outdoor private property belonging to a house, the side of the road, a parking lot or car park, and indoor and outdoor multi-level structures.

In the U.S., after the first public parking garage was opened in Boston, May 24, 1898, livery stables in urban centers began to be converted into garages. In cities of the Eastern US, many former livery stables, with lifts for carriages, continue to operate as garages today.

The following terms exemplify regional variations in language. All except ''carport'' refer to outdoor multi-level parking facilities. In some regional dialects, some of these phrases refer also to indoor or single-level facilities.




*''Parking ramp'' (used in some parts of the upper Midwest, especially Minneapolis, but sometimes seen as far east as Toledo, Ohio). In Minneapolis, this term ''never'' refers to an indoor facility; that would be called a ''parking garage''.
*''Multi-storey car park'' (England)
*''Parkade'' (Canada, South Africa)
*''Parking structure'' (Western U.S.)
*''Parking garage'' (Eastern USA, where this term refuses to distinguish between outdoor multi-level parking facilities and indoor parking facilities; to a Minneapolitan this term emphatically says indoor parking facility; to a Bostonian it does not.)
*''Parking deck'' (Sighted in both New Jersey and North Carolina.)
*''Carport'' (open-air covered parking)

I plan on parking my car today. I anticipate it to be a quality experience.

Park

You mention the park

Meet me there .. ?

Cake?

How would I ever know what/ where/ when?

A year ago my boys still let me take them to the park .. now they meet their friends.

I’m kinda wary of men hanging around parks by themselves … don’t really want to be a hypocrite…

So unlikely I would think …

I guess it depresses me some days to think you may actually be somewhere hoping for miracles …

Other days I think …

If you wanted to like go somewhere/ meet me you’d actually ask and not the day after on urban

lol then again I guess nobody cares what I think …

Getting to the point I don’t either …

Full on recluse

Fuelled by doubts

And the wonder if SB is laughing directly at me before reporting back to the clique …

Park …
