Doris Day Parking
rock star parking In 1960s Doris Day movies, whenever DD would arrive at her destination, a parking space would be available right in front of it so she could drive her convertible right in. No valets necessary.

When I drove into Hollywood to see "Wicked", there was a
"Doris Day parking" space that was open right in front of the Pantages theater. (Examples are sprinkled throughout all movies of the 60s. Jessica Fletcher ("Murder She Wrote") had the same luck.)

Doris Day Parking
If you watch old Doris Day movies, she has the most amazing parking luck and timing. Ms. Day was one of the first ladies to drive solo in movies and she had the uncanny knack of pulling up in front of the bank, butcher, office, etc. and getting the spot right in front of the door.

As such, Doris Day Parking spots are the PERFECT parking spots - mere steps to the door of any establishment. Good mojo for Doris Day Parking is said to to be acquired by singing the Doris Day version of "Que Sera Sera" as you approach the area in which you are seeking a parking spot.

I was short on time when I drove to the bank at lunch, so I sang "Que Sera Sera" the whole way. When I arrived there was Doris Day Parking; the spot was so close, three steps from my car to the door.

It's like Tim is in the movies right on queue, no waiting. All the times I've ridden with him to the Mall we park right at the main entrance - Doris Day Parking!

Doris Day Parking
Typically in Doris Day movies, she somehow, miraculously, gets a parking space right in front of the place she needs to go. How convenient! And being an urban dweller, where parking 10 blocks from your house is a gift, getting a spot right out front of the place you are going deserves it's very own name!

Friend: Thanks for coming over. Did you find a spot close by?
Visiting friend: Did I? I found Doris Day Parking -- I'm never leaving!

Doris Day Parking Spot
The most swetest parking space you can get, usually in front of the door, closest to entrance etc. Usually when you get this you will have a lucky shopping experience.

Reason: In the Doris Day movies, she always got the greatest parking spot everytime she went shopping. You never saw her drag her ass from the back of the parking lot.

WOW how lucky am I, I just got a Doris Day Parking spot.
