They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot!!

While I hate that song, it appears to be true:

"Digitalized aerial surveys taken in 2005 were used to calculate the total area devoted to parking lots in Indiana's Tippecanoe County and revealed the paved lots covered an area larger than 1,000 football fields and that there were three times as many parking spaces as drivers who lived in the county, said study leader Bryan Pijanowski of Purdue University."

It really doesn't surprise me. The county has three Wal-Mart's!!

At least now I have a way to describe where I'm from other than "You know, where Purdue University is..." Now I can just say "That huge parking lot northwest of Indianapolis."

At least you shouldn't have trouble finding a parking space!
