Where Are the Worst Parking Lots in Pinole and Hercules?

By AUTUMN JOHNSON

You know the ones we are talking about: Spaces that fit little more than a matchbox car, the lot with a fraction of the parking spaces needed for the number of businesses in the shopping center... or maybe it’s that lot known for car burglaries or door dings, confusing signage, speeders, bottlenecks, poor lighting, excessive trash or folks parking illegally in the handicapped spots. We could go on forever!

In 2013, one parking lot on Las Positas Road in Livermore’s Vintage Square Shopping Center was infamous for the giant boulder that used to snag unsuspecting drivers. In order to cope after becoming a victim of the rock, residents eventually named the offending piece of stone the “Baja Rock” and even created a Facebook page so victims of the rock could commiserate.
