NICE Photo: National PARK(ing) Day

Today is National PARK(ing) Day. Haven't heard of it? Well, it's "an annual, one-day, global event where artists, activists, and citizens independently but simultaneously temporarily transform metered parking spots into 'PARK(ing)' spaces: temporary public parks." Pretty great idea, right?

On my walk across the street from my office to get a cup of coffee (and a piece of tasty coffee cake) this morning, I spotted one of the installations. From the back, all I could see was that it was a bunch of white signs on stands. But as I crossed the street, I saw that the signs depicted illustrations of leaves.



The parking space, located near the corner of 16th St and JFK Blvd. was turned into a Philadelphia Tree Museum for the day.



I'm hoping on my lunchtime walk I'll find a few more of these! Click here to read more about National PARK(ing) Day.
