(1) Trader Joe’s — Piper Glen
Trader Joe’s Piper Glen, by far my most hated parking lot in Charlotte. – Sandy

I mean, they totally just renovated our store. They had every opportunity to get it right, and it’s TERRIBLE. – Clay

@Charlotte_Five more bad parking lots: both the front and back parking lots at Pasta & Provisions/Providence Sundries on Providence Rd. — Matt Magnasco (@MattMagnasco) December 20, 2014
(6) Panera/Manor Theatre
@charlotte_five u forgot old manor theatre/Panera parking lot off of providence in Eastover area. It’s gotta be up there. #avoidatallcosts — Adrian Lineberger IV (@ThaBeanieIV) December 18, 2014
(8) The Arboretum I have to say Arboretum. The flow of traffic meanders and doesn’t provide clear driving or parking lanes. Structurally, the worst. – Bruce The Arboretum was designed by someone who was drunk. – John
(9) Asian Corner Mall
@Charlotte_Five Oh my god the parking lot at Asian Corner mall is horrific. There are potholes the size of my car. — Pixel Star (@PixelStar7) December 18, 2014
(10) Whiskey Warehouse/Commonwealth
The parking lot behind Whiskey Warehouse, Common Market, and Thomas St Tavern in Midwood. It’s unpaved and tiny. @charlotte_five — Wine and Stein (@Wine_and_Stein) December 20, 2014
@Charlotte_Five All of Commonwealth & Central area that back in parking sucks enormously how people don’t get hit while parking surprises me — petzilla (@petzilla) December 18, 2014
(11) Carolina Place Mall
Nope, I would rather negotiate Whiskey Warehouse parking lot full of land mines than Carolina Pl Mall at xmas – @slamoy2
(12) Bad Daddy’s
Finding parking at Bad Daddy’s is like flopping a royal flush.

(16) Blakeney Leave uptown, and you’d have to include BLAKENEY. Just the entire place. It’s horrible this time of year. – @NightOwl_RN Yes, all of blakeney/stonecrest/ballantyne. You can’t go 5 ft w/o hearing someone blowing their horn in anger – @Cheekysqwrl
@Charlotte_Five walgreens at south & woodlawn!!!!!!!!!! these are potholes & stuff, but general bad planning?… takes the cake — Joshua Walters (@shaggs2josh) December 21, 2014
(18) Independence Boulevard
I didn’t see I-77, or Independence Blvd…both former roads now daily use parking lots @Charlotte_Five @wxbrad — Charlotte TrafficGuy (@Clt_TrafficGuy) December 18, 2014
(19) Pinky’s
@ayokciv @Charlotte_Five Pinkys parking does suck, I want to go there more they are a great local place I love — petzilla (@petzilla) December 18, 2014
(20) SouthEnd Food Truck Friday
@charlotte_five For worst parking lots: Don’t know how you phrase it, but Southend on a Food Truck Friday needs to be in there somehow. — Chris Littmann (@chrislittmann) December 18, 2014
(21) Kohl’s on U.S. 74
@Charlotte_Five You didn’t include the Kohls shopping center in Matthews on 74.Designed by the most inept morons-a nightmare parking lot!
