Park it like its hawt.




Yes, I have a favorite parking lot. When in North Beach, this parking lot is whats up. Not only does it provide bicycle parking, but this narrow five floor lot also provides a poetic line for each parking space, offering a side of diversity to the otherwise routine main course of the car-culture prix fixe. The petite parking lot also has a light well, and on each floor there is bamboo and other greenery to lighten the mood, and offset a minor part of the contributed carbon. Did I mention that a majority of the bottom two floors are dedicated Zip-Car and City Car Share?

This parking sets a shining example of how many contrasting lifestyles and urban design philosophies can form a functioning hybrid.


The trouble is that you think you have time//Get to the nitty gritty of things.



An emptiness will soon be filled//The time is right to make new friends. (coulda used that advice a few years ago.)
