Park(ing) Day started six short years ago in San Francisco, and directly led to the creation of parklets. There is perhaps no better way to get people to look at public urban space in a different way, outside the car-storage paradigm, and it's really great to see the idea spread to cities across the country. I probably won't be able to get any pics today as I'm leaving town shortly, but it's definitely going strong here.
