I'm sorry Glenn, I wasn't confusing your stupidity with your enjoyment. I'm afraid that my feelings on the parklet are less than emotional. It's a fun, temporary display. I do however enjoy and support most creative forms of street art (or whatever you are going to call it in rebuttal). If the temporary inconvenience of losing two parking spaces is making it hard for people to manage they're parking needs then you can take my spot for the time being. let me know and I will save a spot for you with my folding chairs (I stole them from Clark Park btw). Much of the reasons for living in this neighborhood is the never ending diversity of ideas and creative displays that our neighbors demonstrate in many ways. The city is a tight squeeze and we're all in it together. If we spent less time selfishly complaining about minor inconveniences and embrace the cultural expressions and creativeness of those who make things happen we might smile a bit more.
As for Clark Park... it's my children's "backyard". We are thankful that there are changes being made and that the Park has become a more friendly space for most. The amount of folks that use the north side of the park speaks for the positive change that's happening. I'm not going to sit here and say that every change is good and that any change is going to satisfy everyone but I'm not an angry guy with too much time and a personal agenda. I have a family, a real job which keeps me from becoming obsessed with every blade of grass that is damaged and every fart that is expelled from the "powers" working hard to make West Philly Safer, more creative, and a great place to raise a family. Lastly, I will have to confess that my "love" for Siano is undeclared as is my love for Glenn. Sorry. I've now addressed my shallow, selfish feelings about these things. I'm out. I will continue to enjoy reading the ever so entertaining discussions like this one. Rock on Glenn.
