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?”
Quote: Park(ing) Day is an international event that reclaims parking spots and transforms them into engaging, people-friendly public spaces for one day a year.
Park(ing) Day NYC is a New York City Streets Renaissance collaboration which supports the conversion of parking spots throughout New York City’s 5 boroughs into human-friendly places for a single day. These small, temporary public spaces provide a breath of relief from the auto-clogged reality of New York City, and aim to spark dialogue about our valuable public space and how we choose to use it.

I don’t know Rob. The kids I know between 0 and 5 are pretty damn cool. Cooler than I was certainly. I think something amazing is going to happen when the current pre-school set is adult age.

kind of lame.
If you’re going to do the guerrilla gardening thing, you should REALLY do it.
i mean, people should be getting off work to find their car covered in petunias or some $h#t – people should literally be stocking up on gardening shears like its 2001 duct tape because they are so scared…
i don’t have a car but if i did i’d probably be pissed. i know i hate it when cars park in the bike lane – though obstructing a bike lane in traffic is dangerous for cyclists as opposed to merely inconvenient…
Agree Wasder my 3 yr old has a promising future. I think the lost ones are the test tube and crack babies from the 80’s.
ALso, love the way you snuck the “c-word” in there…
I don’t know Rob. The kids I know between 0 and 5 are pretty damn cool. Cooler than I was certainly. I think something amazing is going to happen when the current pre-school set is adult age. These kids have such a different sense of social mobility and are blind to skin color in a way that my generation certainly isn’t. I have hope for the future when I see the kids my kids go to school with.
annoying self-righteous adult crotchfruit of one of the grossest generations in american history. well, until the kids who are now between 0 and 5 come of age. BARF
