Closing Bell: Preparing for Parking Day

PARKINABOX-0709.jpg
In anticipation of the annual Park(ing) Day NYC festivities coming up on September 18, Transportation Alternatives is holding a design competition for a pre-fab "park in a box" that could be easily produced and distributed to the various parking spaces that will be colonized for a day. Among other rules, the POP.parks must not use more than $20 in materials. Get out those sketchpads, people!

I wish all the retards would leave New York. New York is turned into a Narcissistic Pertencious play land for Covert Race/Class Warfare Retards...

This is a great idea.

I think I remember this from last year...this is the day when they encourage kids to sit & play in the street. Retarded indeed. Seriously, can someone explain to the point of this?
