If you're a regular reader of this blog, it's probably no surprise that Streetfilms' Clarence Eckeson was out and about in New York City on Friday on his bike shooting film just as I was on my bike taking pictures. Eckerson reports that Park(ing) Day NYC had:
...over 50 parking spaces temporarily reclaimed throughout the city, nearly doubling last year's total. I'll say this: that's a lot of freaking sod!!
Fantastic film. Maybe next year we can get them out here to make a film, since I believe that we actually had more spaces in LA than in NYC! I think we should make it a competition every year now. Round 1 goes to LA. We're actually winning at something! Too bad it's not permanent.
Maybe next year I'll use more sod and multi-lingual flyers and signage. I had a bunch of people come up to me and ask me if I was selling plants and lawn furniture at the Park[ing] Day park I set up!
