All good things must come to an end....

So it seems that this journey to become an expert blogger has come to an end. Throughout this class I was exposed to so many new technologies that have helped me to develop my blog from a general page to a now high tech page. I started this blog out of the frustration with ODU's parking on campus, but it has evolved into so much more. After doing research on so many other blogs about parking I have learned that this is the perfect channel to not just blast frustrations but to create a solution that works for everyone. With this blog I was able to propose new ideas and be able to receive feedback from others who either agreed or disagreed. I have learned so much not just through my "investigative" journalism, but also through talking to other people and being able to blog to share it with the world. It has been such a great learning experience to see how one small idea has blossomed into a whole new world of digital journalism that I will be able to carry with me into the professional work of Public Relations!!

#5 Red-Whitehurst

The fifth and final stop is the parkingg lot for Whitehurst that is located off of Powhattan ave. This lot actaully looks over whitehurst beach, so you can sit in your car and relax while looking at the beach. This lot is extremely large and accomodates all the residents for Whitehurst and Powhattan. There is no problem finding spots and there is adequate lighting in the lot.

#4 Blue-Powhattan

The fourth stop is the parking lot located on the corner of 48th street and Powhattan Ave. This lost is shared between the freshmen residents of Whitehurst dorm and Powhattan apartments. This lot is fairly small so it is a first come, first serve basis. However this can be a long walk to Whitehurst dorm, so I would reccomend that you park in the Whitehurst lot and leave these spaces for the Powhattan residents.

#3 Purple-Quads

The third stop is the Quad parking garage that is located on the corner of 43rd and Elkhorn Ave. This is unique to all the other ones because this one is a garage, not a lot. Due to all of the construction that is around the quads, the residents are to park here on certain floors. The thing to remember is that you must enter on Elkhorn Ave, the entrance on 43rd street is for commuters only.

#2 Green-Gresham Lot

The 2nd stop is Gresham parking lot this is located on 49th street, a little past Rogers. This lot is used solely for the residents of the Gresham dorm, so you don't have to worry about communters taking your spots. Now this lot is seperated in two, on both sides of the Gresham Main building.This lot is extremely smaller than the Rogers lot, so in most cases you might have to park in Rogers.

#1 Yellow-Rogers

The first stop on the tour of "Freshmen Parking" is the Rogers Parking lot. This lot is actually a 2-part lot. The first part is located on Hampton Blvd, where this part is shared by commuters and employees of WHRO. The second part of the lot is located on 49th street, and is solely for the residents. This parking lot is important because anyone with a decal can park here...this is important if you stay in a dorm that does not have a cafeteria, you can drive to Rogers and park in this lot.
