Angie Schmitt announces the results of the 2015 "Parking Madness" tournament, which pits the country's worst examples of parking.
"Even hollowed-out Parkersburg, West Virginia — which had a name that seemed destined for victory in this contest — fell short in the championship match. Camden emerged from the final poll with a 15-vote margin to claim the third annual Golden Crater title, joining Tulsa and Rochester," reports Angie Schmitt.
Schmitt cited two big factors in Camden's "victory," namely the proximity of the parking lots in question to the waterfront of the Delaware River and public transit access to Philadelphia, located just across the river.
Schmitt also notes that Camden's participation in the tournament has already spurred a lot of local conversation, with a focus especially on the potential of the area to something that works better for the city and the region. The 2013 Golden Crater went to a parking crater in Tulsa, which recently launched a design review process for a proposed makeover for the area.
