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?”
“anti car sediment” — clogs my fuel injectors
I don’t get this either. Is it supposed to have an environmentalist message? All I see is self-righteous hipsters wasting a ton of sod.
Will this be followed by guerilla park reclamation, with cars and trucks doing donuts on the Parade Ground?
If that’s a metered spot, he’ll need to move after two hours or risk a ticket.
“anti car sediment”
I find it gets on my galoshes.
“This kind of thing is just designed to make the participants feel good about themselves, rather than convincing anyone or changing anything.”
I couldn’t agree more, etson.
“What happens when somebody wants to park their car there?”
Guerrilla parking spot reclamation.
Or they drive round the block a few times looking for another space, kind of defeating the object.
This kind of thing is just designed to make the participants feel good about themselves, rather than convincing anyone or changing anything.
I don’t get it either. What happens when somebody wants to park their car there? I’ve seen people get nasty over much less than this when they’re trying to park. It’d be a shame to get that banjo all smashed up.
People need to go back to Oregon or where ever the else they have come from! This is Brooklyn New York, one the best parts of living in Brooklyn is having a car and driving, I am sick of this anti car sediment in one of the largest cities in the world. I get it, more people bike and take the train than drive, but this is just stupid.
park missionaries with a banjo in bed stuy. Geeze where are these people coming from? I’d rather they rally send letters and tear down failed fedder’s projects and make a real park.
