TAKE THIS JOB... (2003)
Episode Six "Parking Wars"
Is Philadelphia really the city of brotherly love?
In this episode of Take This Job... we profile the people on the front line of the enforcement division of the Philadelphia
Parking Authority. It's a first-hand look at what happens when the citizens
of Philidelphia come face to face with ticketers, booters, and towers of
one of the city's most lucrative agencies. The car is an integral part
of the American dream. It is also one of the most tangible expressions
of American freedom and identity. And when you take all that away,
the response isn't pretty.
Both intense and comical, this episode is an
exclusive ride with the people behind the stereotypes. Hit the streets
with Frannie Esposito, a veteran ticketer who's been dodging angry drivers
for 12 years. See what a woman will do to keep Steve Garfield and his booting
partner Keith Hevener away from her tires. Meet tower Dave Sojourner, who
is called every name in the book but still keeps a smile on his face. And
get a behind the scenes look at the parking court, car impound lot, and
weekly car auctions.
From the policing of the nightly illegal drag
races to confronting angry drivers, the Philadelphia Parking Authority
might be one of the best places to answer the question, is Philadelphia
really the city of brotherly love?
