Hollywood parking

(noun) An open parking space immediately in front of the store or building you're wanting to visit. So named because they're mysteriously always available in TV and movies, but somehow you never run across them in real life.

Also called "Hollywood parking space(s)."

Example 1: "Hitchcock's 'Vertigo' is full of Hollywood parking. I mean come on man, have you *ever* found a good parking spot in San Francisco?"

Example 2: "Dude, the only way I'm buying a keg is if we get Hollywood parking at the liquor store. There's no way I'm gonna hump that thing across a parking lot."
