We live in a car-dependent city. There’s no quick-fix solution to it — although it does prove the need for a stronger public transportation system — but we can certainly complain about the worst local places to park.

This list is unranked. If you disagree with any of our choices, park at one of the above locations and send an email to leo@leoweekly.com.

Park In The Louisville Area

Southern Indiana shopping centers The parking lot at almost any shopping area in Southern Indiana was clearly designed by a sadist. Whether it’s the maze of trying to exit or the too-small turn windows, it’s just awful, and bless your heart if you’re shopping during the holiday season. Photo via Google Street View
Baxter Avenue There are plenty of awesome local businesses on Baxter
The Shops at Bashford Center (aka the Walmart, Target, etc. in the site of the former Bashford Manor Mall) 3600 Bardstown Road As one LEO staffer describes it, being in this parking lot is “like watching a middle school bell ring” — everyone is trying to do something completely independent of everyone else, with no concern for anyone else’s needs or right-of-way. Make sure you keep your eyes open. Photo via Google Street View
The surface lots downtown Let’s take it in a different direction: the surface lots downtown, which do offer a lot of parking spaces, have created an urban heat island.
Under the I-65 overpass downtown Why on earth someone would choose to park their car here instead of, I dunno, a more visible place is beyond us. Photo via Google Street View
Any downtown street, for that matter The meter system is confusing and stressful. The end. Photo via Google Street View
