We’ll admit to not entirely “getting it,” but that doesn’t make the parking meter art project organized by the Montague Street BID this week any less fun. As the reported, “dozens” of volunteers spent Wednesday night sheathing 69 parking meters on the Brooklyn Heights commercial strip with yarn cozies; the official unveiling was during No Parking hours yesterday morning. (Check out the photo above and more at StreetsBlog.) The event took its cue from similar undertakings in Paris and Mexico City.
Yeah Rob, why can’t they all work a dead-end job and be quietly miserable like normal people ?
How dare they bring color, whimsy and smiles to the streets. Don’t they know better? They’ll never be cool like mopey teenagers doing things.
Knitta please! 69 poles get wrapped. guess love is indeed a warm pole. hah. pervy artists.
20-30 somethings with too much time on their hands, trust funds with too much money, unfortunately they dont do the right thing with their trust funds like do blow and drink it so they have to act like wigga-wannabes and fauxtists and do boring crap like this and self promote themselves on every blog on the internet.
lame
FAIL!

The most fun on Montegue Street since the Saloon closed.
A group of guerilla knitters based in Texas started tagging public places about four years ago. Now it’s spread.
One of my favorite experiences of all time was after that huge snowfall in 2005 or so and coming out of the house on Sunday morning to a completely silent, carless Williamsburg with only a few locals straggling down the street. There were heaps of snow everywhere; everything was white. The pay phone on the corner of Grand and Bedford was tagged in a red cozy. Love!
These are adorable! Although it’s the winter, not the summer, when the poor meters really need cozies so they won’t get cold.
“It’s just beautiful.”
I think that’s a stretch, but I’ll admit it’s more colorful than a “normal” parking meter.
It’s just beautiful. There’s nothing to “get” just enjoy the colors.
“organized by the Montague Street BID”
I’d love to know what the anti-Fulton-Street-BID folks think of this particular initiative.
