Stumbling on unexpected fun
Spent a sunny day in San Francisco hopping to meetings and catching up with Catherine. San Francisco delivered some delightful surprises today. Above is a picture of park(ing) day a guerilla urban planner project to take over parking spaces with neat patches of green and fun. This is an "amusement park" game that involved tossing wine corks towards some unidentified purpose. The projects were scattered through the city and cleverly designed. Maybe it's the designer element that saved it from the usual self-righteous SF urban political statement. Here's an article by the Wall Street Journal.
Also came across a great used book sale in the middle of the State Department building on Van Ness. $1 books! It's an annual benefit for the Civic Center Children's Center.
