Behold The Absolute Worst Parking Job of the Summer in Portland,

Have you tried to drive down Commercial Street in Portland this summer? On a busy day, it might take you 10 minutes to go from Becky's Diner to the Ferry Terminal. And parking? Forget about it. It feels like you need the greatest parking karma in the world or a personal note from your local congressperson to get a space. That being said, we've seen some pretty bad parking jobs in the Old Port this summer. We know it's still only August, but this parking job might take the Gold Medal for the Summer of 2021.

When is it ever ok to park ON a crosswalk?

We found this one on Reddit. Sorry about the strong language!

What are the odds the person that parked on the crosswalk is from away? What do you guess....New York? Jersey? Massachusetts?

One other side note on this horrific parking job. Did you notice the lines on the crosswalk? Do they seem a bit, um, off to you? Were the people that painted the crosswalk drinking in the Old Port before they did this?

Here's an aerial photo of the "drunken crosswalk" outside of what used to be the Dry Dock:

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
