Make Cincinnati Weird!

I have heard about PARK[ing] Day in other cities somewhere before.  So imagine my delight when I came across Cincinnati PARK[ing] Day scheduled for next month (I’m always the last to know)!

From the Cincinnati PARK[ing] Day blog:

“Cincinnati PARK[ing] Day” call for entries (Posted: Aug. 6, 2008) — Cincinnati PARK[ing] Day announces a call to citizens for the second annual “Cincinnati PARK[ing] Day” to be held Sept. 19, 2008 in parking spaces around Cincinnati. This is a one-day, global event in which artists, activists, and citizens collaborate to temporarily transform parking spots into public parks and alternative public spaces. Parking spaces show the fundamental elements of a good outdoor public space and may include seating, shade, and a place to watch people, exchange information, and view scenery. Each parking spot can be transformed into a park, playground, puppet show, or whatever you like.

But they need some time to organize, so the call for entries requests they be done by Sept. 5, 2008.  For more information, visit the blog and the original PARK[ing] Day website.
