Two dumpsters full of greenery, with four more to come, add a bit of nature to the streets of a paved-over downtown neighborhood. Some scoff, but others are willing to give the 'parkmobiles' a go. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-0902-dumpster-parks-20110902,0,2389195.storypretty cool idea!

one of those tiny side streets that SF has so many of. can't park on them, so might as well do something green and positive about it.
