Before and After: A Serious Fixer-Upper
When the Atlanta, Georgia-based renovation firm Laughing Sun purchased this home, it was in absolute disrepair.

It also was so leaky that the renovators were able to push the back wall of the house with one hand!

Cool Idea: Park(ing) Day
When I lived in a third-story apartment, I really longed for more green space, and would have definitely taken advantage of Park(ing) Day, which just finished its second annual event this past Friday. Park(ing) Day is an event where businesses, government offices, and volunteers in several corners of the world take the time to construct parks in parking spaces. In San Francisco alone, over 55 parking spaces were occupied, including this pedal-powered park, constructed and operated by Oakland, California, collective Rebar, which started the whole phenomenon a year ago, with help from the Trust for Public Land.
