   Andrea — Small parks are showing up all around the Portland (Oregon) metro area. This movement is so exciting – it has been great fun watching it evolve over the years through your blog. Don’t you just love it when good things spread and are shared with everyone? I am making it a point to visit a strip park today.

   Dude. If there was ever a city in the world that needed a Parking Day, that city is Houston. If your husband is ever interested in bringing this south, LET ME KNOW.

    Saw this this morning and it reminded me of Parking Day:

    Grassing that street (while leaving the sidewalks intact for pedestrian and bike traffic) would be so great eh?
