Cincinnati Park[ing] Day 2009

Mark your calendars -- 2009 National Park[ing] Day is Friday, September 18. San Francisco art collective REBAR first created "PARK(ing)" in 2005 to re-imagine the potential of the metered parking space. In 2006, in collaboration with the Trust for Public Land, REBAR founded PARK(ing) Day: a global exploration of the creative potential of streets. Check the Park[ing] Day Network site for more event details and resources. If you're on Facebook, RSVP to our event!

Cornhole at 5th and Walnut, downtown

This PARK[ing] spot lasted maybe an hour during rush hour yesterday morning, before it had to be packed up. Just a hop and a skip south of Fountain Square, this was definitely the most audacious location. Thank you, John and Alicia, for putting on the show!
