Parking Day

The city of Grand Rapids did this weird parking day thing last week where local organizations were encouraged to rent out their own metered parking spots downtown and fill it with green things, (enviornmental, not the color). Some put out cute potted plants and others literally brought in sod and grilled burgers on their make-shift "lawns." I'm not sure how that was so green...my favorite was this little spot with a rainbow umbrella. The organization had their intern sitting out in it all day...oh how I can sympathize...
