Very cute picture.

That is an a-DORable haircut on her.

Damn, she's hot. Too bad she's a kook.

Sod murderer!

Kidding. But Charles, in light of your earlier post about the closure of 77 parks in Detroit and the fact that parks and rec funding are often among the first casualties in economic downturns, what do you think is the likely effect of such activism at the present time?

If not a park, how about a ginormous food cart pod?! Thoughts?!

Oh man, this would be a PERFECT place for a Hawthorne Pod-style endeavor. It's way too much to hope for, but a girl can dream.

So long as we're unable to fund the Billionaires' Tunnel, none of these parks will be built or maintained.

Consequences ...

Atta girl, Ashley!

Confidential to 5280: what is the matter with you?! Parks versus parking lots! I now have an image of you as a grumpy old man who eats asphalt while receiving a daily IV whiskey infusion, all the while waving his cane in the air and shouting about the second amendment. And wearing a cowboy hat.

Goodness!

Charles,
Good on Ashley et al. with the message/public art. Nice touch.

OK, land prices are down and it would be a good time to buy.

BUT Parks can't afford to maintain what it has now (talk of closing down community centers for the summer). The LAST thing we need is more parks that we can't afford to maintain! Particularly if we spend more money (that we don't have) that MIGHT go to maintaining what we do have!

Oh, hey. I've played kickball with that girl. Right on.

C'mon, reclaiming urban space is cool.

I'm not really interested in women that way, but she is rilly rilly cute.

I wonder if any of you know the kind of money and exorbitant use of chemical that goes into making sod....It is truly terrifying.

Please wait...
