So this is my first post with so many pictures. It was a bit tedious to post all these photos and as a result I've put it off for quite some time. I'm just going to use my facebook comments on these. Here it is...
Parking Day Boston 2009
Trailer park at the start of the day. Notice the lack of real sod :-(
Parking day begins with a trip to Pemberton to pick up some loaner plants for our Inman park. I found the Porter sq. park on the way there, but they weren't setup yet. I'll drop by later to see how they're doing.
Packed with our plants
Our empty spot before we setup. Notice the ridiculous color scheme of my bike barricade!
Our first patrons! We had a construction theme for the park.
Doug and I are ready to roll out with the music playing on his trailer.
My sad Parking day bike flag.
Our first stop was Harvard!
Harvard had a bike parking theme going. (and balloons) They had a ton of these cards and I picked up some to distrubute.
A few parked bikes and of course the balloons.
More balloons to come.
Doug chillin'
Me chillin'
Here's the Porter sq. Parking spot. Quite a transformation from the morning.
They had a mix of different themes, one of which was homemade foods and drinks. Mmm ice cream!
This kid wanted to ride in the trailer
Hold on tight!
Side walk chalking!
Me rolling around on the grass.
Me hula-ing.
Homemade soda? (the first two flavors I tried were good, not sure about the passion fruit)
Here's their assortment of flavors!
Hula action!
Government Center Parking spot
Quick visit from a dragonfly.
That's not lunch!
Hammock! Rock on! (and puppy)
People just haning out.
Government Center's sign
The government center spot was put together by walkBoston and Livable Streets Alliance.
After a quick lunch in Kenmore we head over to BU's parking spot!
As expected, it is quite busy!
They even have a bike repair center out front.
Jazz band! The guy I talked with said they had live music lined up for the whole day!
The BU spot involved people from a bunch of different student groups.
Just mingling.
Allston's parking spot.That's a gallery back there!
After a quick stop at ex-Herrells' we're heading back.
Harvard's balloons has increased! This is near the end of the day!
And finally, a final stop through at Porter sq. again!
There's no direct connection between parking day and bike culture, yet it seemed to be a huge theme throughout the day. I suppose it's just the similarities between both movements!
