‘Parking Wars’ helps Philly pools

The original intent of A&E’s show Parking Wars was to show the Philadelphia Parking Authority as a mock hero to Philadelphia (or, to honor the citizens who clearly violated parking laws and decide to make a fool of themselves on national television).

Now, producers of the series have donated $110,000 to help keep open the city’s pools this summer.

The producers are no stranger to Philadelphia philanthropy. Last year, the show gave $87,000 to city programs, but $10,000 was left over. That amount was added to this year’s $100,000 donation.

Parking Wars airs on Wednesday nights on A&E.
