New parking system at Century City

We stopped by Century City today and discovered that they have one of those parking systems that tells you how many empty spaces there are. What's nice though, is that there are colored lights over every space, which makes it easy to spot where the open spaces are. Presumably this should lead to less aimless wandering in the parking lot when things are busy.
