: Another regionalism with a more modern word might be 'parking garage,'
: which we say in the Northwest and other places, and 'parking structure'
: which was definately the standard in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  Any
: thoughts?--jpv

It's also 'parking garage' in the Baltimore MD-Washington DC area. I don't
recall 'parking structure' from my time in Philadelphia, but i didn't have a
car 'til i moved to the outlying suburbs there, and so i'm not sure what
it's called there--but the mall expansion in Exton PA certainly did involve
a new 'parking garage', not structure.
