Now I know it can be hard to find a parking space, but these folks have taken finding parking in odd spaces to the extreme:
You’ve got to have a small car for this space!

and then there’s this parking space …

How did they get that car up on the balcony?
I’ve seen pictures like this after a tornado has rolled through a town, but it doesn’t look like the area above has been through a tornado does it? Well I guess if you don’t need to drive the car every day a spot like that might work.

This weeks theme is Metal
Mooses? I don’t think that there’s a plural for moose …

We took this photo of a metal moose while attending an Art fair here in Toronto. This moose is made out of a recycled oil tank!
This second moose was found in front of a Chicago building.

Do you have interesting animal artwork or statues in your city?

We’ve all heard stories about home owners who refuse to sell when big commercial projects are planned to be built around their property … well 86 year old Edith Macefield is another property owner who refused to move from her home when developers from Seattle decided to build a commercial property in her neighborhood.
Macefield refused an offer of 1 million dollars to move.
They’ve decided to go ahead with their project and her home will have a five story construction project around and beside her home.
“I don’t want to move. I don’t need the money. Money doesn’t mean anything,” she said.
There’s one house downtown here in Toronto that looks so tiny with a huge 20 story building almost on top of it. I imagine that Mrs. Macefield’s home will look like that too!
