It's Park(ing) Day

Last year's Park(ing) Day at Ritual Coffee Roasters on Valencia Street.

It's Park(ing) Day, folks. Today's the day REBAR, a San Francisco-based art collective, thought of taking parking spaces and turning them into public ones by creating fun-sized parks. Now cities all over the country are getting in on it. It's a fun idea and we recommend you check any number of these spaces out today before this happens to them.

Community Walk has a map of all the parking spaces turned parks, which you can find here.

The spot outside SFMOMA had bowling balls attached to a ladder. WTF?

Modern art is kinda sucky most of the time.

 

I was wondering what all those were!

Sweet. Too bad we can't just store our stuff on the street permanently, like car drivers get to.
