Urban Reuse Goes Underground: Subterranean Community Park

With the recent expansion of the High Line Park and the growing popularity of urban reuse projects, city dwellers have come to appreciate the potential in unused spaces. One of New York City’s barren, overlooked empty areas has languished beneath the surface of the Lower East Side for about sixty years – but now a visionary group of NYC entrepreneurs wants to turn it into an underground park.

How awesome would this be?

I’m almost confident that I hallucinated it… but I totally saw the three blind mice as I rode home. I stopped at an intersection, and on my right on the sidewalk there were three young blind folk (two guys and a girl) walking with those canes. Three blind people, all walking on the sidewalk, and they all were singing. WTF. I looked around really quick and there were no other witnesses. Maybe I really did hallucinate it.

Did the Janna ride again to make sure I remembered it. There was a train at the tracks when I got to them so I climbed over the train while it was stopped. The train started up again within 5 minutes with a scary jerk noise. Funny enough, I saw Janna as soon as I got on the Jamaica Trail, and she looked at me knowingly and asked if I had climbed over the train, and then chastised me for it. Apparently that shit is dangerous, lol.

I live in a world without couches.

Mental note: don’t do a cartwheel on a slick floor when hands are wet. Ends badly.

If somebody out there hasn’t read this yet… they need to. Unless you’re young :P In which case, I’ll pretend like I didn’t know.

I need some help spreading the word about the Chester 5000 book!

If you’d like to help you could also win a copy of the book! Just reblog this post and leave a reply with your email address so I can contact you. On September 28th I’ll randomly choose a winner!

What you get:
-A brand new signed copy of Chester 5000 XYV with your choice of character sketched inside
-A Chester paper doll
-A signed print

You can also read all of Chester 5000 XYV online (NSFW, 18+)
The only difference between the online version and the book is that the art in the book has been re-scanned at a higher resolution and re-cleaned. Some of the art has been redone for the sake of consistency and I can assure that it’s a very handsome volume.

Thanks, I love you! :D

For the last 500 years, the locals of Nongriat in Meghalaya, India have grown several hundred bridges across the region’s numerous water channels, using just the roots of local ribber trees. Some of the bridges extend over 100 feet in length and are strong enough to support more than 50 people at a time.
