PARKing Day Redux in Park Slope! (2007)

by Elizabeth Press on October 16, 2007 | 3,323 Plays

Continuing the PARKing Day excitement this weekend was the original Parking Spot Squat crew who took to celebrating a few weeks late after being shut down prematurely last month by Park Slope's 78th precinct.

StreetFilms was there talking to organizers, neighbors, passerby, City Councilmember Letica James and even drivers(!) - who didn't seem to mind the concept of taking back a parking space for public alfresco use. We love the little girl who says, "I've never sat in a parking spot before."

    Good comments from the People's Republic of Park Slope. Even the drivers don't like cars as much as they like mini-parks.
