parking place vs. parking space

[Torsten]

Hi everyone, in a 1980 interview Steve Jobs says ".... I couldn't find a parking space...." while apologizing for being late. Now, what exactly is the difference between a parking place and a parking space? Is a parking place something like a car park while a parking space is just the space for one car? Many thanks, Torsten

Your guess was right. In addition to parking lots (which the British call car parks) and parking garages (multi-story car parks). We also have parking along the curb, either angle parking or parallel parking). Curb parking is what I think if when someone says parking space, but it can also mean a space in a parking lot or parking garage.
