I grew up where Large Body Of Water was at the east (Chicago).  I now
live where Large Body of Water is at the West (Sandy Eggo).  I gave up
on "right" and "left" long ago, and settled on "driver side" or
"passenger side".

*What* hole?  The right side of our back seat is against the side of
the van, and there's no hole.  The left side is against the closet,
and there's no hole.  There's only the space under the back seat where
the back-seat seat belts get lost into.

Is there some storage space I'm not aware of?  :-)

BTW, we stuff our extra plastic grocery-shopping bags into one of the
compartments on the Duluth Trading Company organizer that hangs on the
back of the passenger seat.
