If you like this kind of thing, there’s going to be a huge celebration for Park(ing) Day on a whole city block on Capitol Hill. The block at Pine and Belmont which was recently leveled, will be Seattle’s own Central Park for a day with 20 individual themed parks making up one big and bad celebration of reclaiming urban space for art and community. Come join us this Friday from 9-8. For more info check out this article. Go RVP http://www.worldchanging.com/local/seattle/archives/010399.html
What a colossally stupid stunt, back around for a 2nd time in Columbia City. In a neighborhood with already limited parking, during the most severe recession in 80 years, we’re catering to a tiny minority of people that hate cars, all cars, and any form of transportation that isn’t a bicycle.
In a fantasy world we’d all be riding bikes, growing our own vegetables, and living in solar-powered cooperative housing communities. Well, I live in the real world and this dumb PARK(ing) Day stunt is just that, a stunt.
If this group really wanted to improve the quality of life in southeast Seattle they would fight for more funding to acquire land for a REAL park, a permanent park. Instead, they’re just taking parking spaces away from our struggling merchants. Nice job, folks.
“Colossally?” Really?
