There are only 3,6o0 parking spaces in downtown Omaha, and 28,000 motorists seek them every day. Eut unless you need your car for business purposes, the parking problem needn’t bother you.

It’s EASIER on your nervous system, KINDER on your pocketbook, and QUICKER if you consider the usual “block after-block” hunt for parking space. i
