Transportation Nation

another fun little story on the project by one of my favorite sites, Transportation Nation!
The SIT Project is an endeavor in neighborhood solidarity based on the premise that if you see something that is broken, go fix it. I find chairs that have been tossed to the curb and are destined for the landfill, then take them home and re-FAB-ilitate them; whether that means lassoing a broken arm rest together with colorful duct tape, painting a laughing face on the seat, or simply adding a frilly parasol. Then I take the newly restored chair and plant it at a bus stop with no seating. It’s that easy.
