Slog - Comments on This Week in The Stranger http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/this_week_in_the_stranger_9 Save the Parking Lots!Dominic Holden tours Seattle's most endangered open spaces. It’s thanks to attitudes like developer Martin Tobias’s that photographs are all that remain of most of Ballard’s beloved parking lots and Belltown’s historic parking lots; they may be all that remain of the parking lots in your neighborhood one day, too. Unless we take action now, your future grandchildren may point to a photograph in a book and ask, 'Grandma, what’s that a picture of?' And you will have to answer, 'That’s a parking lot, sweetheart. The city used to be covered with them. But they’re all gone...

Let me look, unobstructed, at the art, without having to tap dance around you. Buy a nice print and tack it up at home.

Bless you for your honest heartfelt article on parking lots. I fear for the world my children will live in without the inspiring beauty of concrete lots. Where they laugh? Where will they scrape their knees? We need a coalition now - before it is too late.

Remember the mixed use building that was going to be put up in their place? Have you all seen the parking lot that now resides there and frankly looks like it is going to be there awhile?

Is it just me or was that just a hate crime against gays? Just another conservative developer destroying a couple of the now scarce gay bars we have in Seattle?

Buy a nice print, put it up at home, and ogle it all you like. You can even put your nose right up to it!

Also, the lot there is due to one crankpot trying to prevent development and successfully delaying it. That part of the story is listed in Dom's article... I suggest reading it lest you continue to look like a fool.
