Decorated J Street parking spots were projects to raise urban awareness

Honda. Hummer. Hyundai. Hammock?

Vehicles on the streets of Modesto had some unusual company on Friday. A few downtown parking spaces were temporarily transformed into mini-parks in honor of international PARK(ing) Day.

All were on J Street. One in front of the State Theatre featured lawn chairs, plants, turf and a fence made out of architect blueprint tubes that also doubled as drums. The Serrano Social Club’s mini-park featured a hammock and a bike rack. The final park, in front of the new Building Imagination Center, sported log seats.
