Grab a lawn chair, a drink and some sod


Let's hope for some sun tomorrow during Philly's second installation of Park(ing) Day, a national event whose aim is to raise awareness of the need for green space in urban areas. To get their point across, area businesses and advocacy groups will be setting up their own parks along the curbs of some of the city's most traveled blocks. This year there will be 33 different stops throughout the city, including PennDesign City Planning (3400 block of Walnut St.), several architectural firms (900 block of Walnut St., 1218 Arch St.) and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (20th & Arch Sts.). Despite the worthy message, it's impossible to tell what sort of effect this type of thing actually has, but hey, I'm going to make the rounds because that's a really nice logo they have there.
