Here's the south entrance of Saratoga's Congress Park, eleven acres designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. Notice how gracefully the stroller is delivered from the sylvan realm of the park, through the lovely gothic revival gates, to the real American world of Parking Lot Nation. Is there any doubt that we are living in a National Automobile Slum? The piece-of-crap Modernist structure in the background is the Holiday Inn.
