We stopped by Fulton Street near Marcy to help Gabe Willow and Eric Adler with their park-for-a-day, an installation they built for Park(ing) Day, an international event of guerrilla parking space reclamation. Eric and Gabe opted to create a miniature park in their space complete with a mountain, pond, native plants, and wildlife (the turtle hadn’t arrived yet at the time these photos were taken). The second-most-common question they received: “What’s going on here?” The first-most-common question: “How much are you charging for those plants?”

This ranks among the stupidest comments I’ve ever read on this site. Congratulations, it’s quite an achievement.
So, if one does not like cars, one should move to Oregon, where a car is basically required to get around? Pure genius.
Yes, this one of the largest cities in the world. It is also the city with the largest and most extensive mass transit system in the world.
Perhaps your car-loving self should consider moving to Oregon, or almost any place else in this fair land.
The light that burns twice as bright burns for half as long – and you have burned so very, very brightly, Rob.

Is it wrong that I really have an urge to show up there
with a giant Ghetto Blaster boom box playing Gary Newman’s song ‘Cars’?

I always find such comments weird. Basically it reads like “This is a city! If you don’t wan’t to drive, go to the suburbs!” which, of course, is completely backwards.
honeysuckleweeks, while i think this project is lame beyond belief, i totally do agree with you. some people really do use their cars to commute when it’s so not necessary. but they like it, and that’s their right, and they pay for it i guess. i dont know, maybe i SHOULD like things like this considering i dont even have a license 🙂
never in a gazillion years not getting a license would i have thought it would be cool to not have one. apparently it is 🙂
