Just when you think you're in the clear, away from the road rage of 84 and the tailgating on White Street, you pull into the sanctuary of a parking lot. Even those are hellish and suck lately. There are 5 in Danbury that I absolutely despise.

In particular, I hate the Trader Joe's parking lot of the Danbury Green Shopping Center on Mill Plain Road. More on that later, but that's the one that started me actually avoiding a business because the parking lot is just nuts. It's not the business' fault, I love Starbucks and Trader Joe's and supermarkets, it's just an awful design and location. I find myself wanting to drive further away to a couple of towns over because the parking lots around Danbury are brutal.
