I have 11 days to go to fund my pocket parks project on Kickstarter.com. Check out my video at
The page and the video say it all. These little parks between buildings are unique and I want to locate all of them and then tell their story. The book, website and app will be there for travellers to New York City and, I hope, other cities in the world.
What began as a way to utilize space for the common good of New York City’s has turned into community gardens, urban plazas and ways to immortalize fallen heroes and those we love. Regardless of the success of my Kickstarter.com funding efforts, I plan on becoming the authority on pocket parks, community gardens and urban plazas in New York City (and, in the future, other places). If you know of any cool little resting places open to the public in Manhattan, please send me the address and a simple photo so I have an idea of what I am looking for.
For more info, go to the Kickstarter.com site or to my other blog called – what else? – Pocket Parks of NYC http://pocketparksnyc.blogspot.com/.
Enjoy!
