Parking Space is Now a Park

When Svante Myrick became the mayor of Ithaca, New York, earlier this year, he gave up driving to work every day in favor of walking. However, the mayor has a permanent prime parking space in front of City Hall. To keep the space from going to waste, Myrick has turned it into a tiny public park! The "Reserved for Mayor" sign has been appended to say "and friends."  Link -via Breakfast Links
