Web Site of the Week: SpotScout.com
Posted by: Christine Bulson
SpotScout.com is a concept similar to e-Bay but specifically for parking spots. At the present time the site accepts requests only in Boston. Searching is by address for parking in commercial garages, or in a private driveway or garage Entering an in and out date, time and the walking distance from the spot (5-30 minutes) will provide results with cost for the closest and or cheapest. For private spots there is a description of the location – eg. outdoor parking in an alley. The original goal of the site was to save individuals gas and the world from additional carbon monoxide. Still in a beta version there are glitches but I was able to find both private and public spaces in the Back Bay area of Boston.
