You had to be there. This woman was walking in the middle of Prospect Street and Mass Avenue with traffic flowing.


This gentleman took in too much art and reluctantly was taken to the hospital.

Parking Day Cambridge, MA, September 20, 2013

Group of Urban Design students at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design celebrate Parking Day 2013 (September 20, 2013). With a legal permit from the city of Cambridge they parked in a legal space in front of the Center for Government and International Studies on Cambridge Street from 10 till 5 PM. A live parking enforcement officer came by while they were in place and he did not object. You know it was legal then. There was free food, drink, conversation, brotherly and sisterly love, and music (drowned out by the traffic). The students worked on the their tans naturally while promoting and celebrating Parking, an international celebration in more than 175 cities, 35 countries.
