I think the Electric Company writers were on acid while they were writing the show. That's basically what I meant.

I think it's neat that it's actually the design of Pioneer Courthouse Square painted (granted in practically garish colors) right on top of the old parking garage. It's like the public square was emerging through the parking lot or something.

It's definitely a classic photo. The fore-runner to the community building effort that became Intersection Repair.

Mark's comments on the photo: These are from Gail Martin. Her husband, Will Martin had them taken on the day of the rooftop painting. You can see him, in his broad brim hat and his travelling studio truck, in the second picture. I miss him every day.

By growing in bags, the garden can be created cheaply, and can be moved when the site is ready for a more permanent use (i.e. dense housing). Also, you don't have to worry about contaminants in the existing soil.

I remember the late Ernie Bonner sharing a photo of the parking garage before it was demolished where the entire top deck and a car were painted in a bright and elaborate design. If anyone has a link to that photo, I'd love to see it again.
