Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
One new idea for every day in 2011. We're talking big, small, local, international, in action and on the drawing board. Here's today's -- what's yours?
Don't expect to be able to park in the sweet spots next to campus, along Roosevelt Row, or across the street from City Hall in downtown Phoenix tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow marks Park(ing) Day -- the brainchild of San Francisco art/design studio Rebar -- where "parking spaces around the globe to be temporarily reclaimed for people." ... people not in cars, that is.
Tomorrow morning (from 7 to 10 a.m.) the Phoenix team, along with the Dixie Devils band, dueling pianists, and Scandalesque performers are plotting to take over spots on Washington St. just east of Third Avenue and metered spaces on Second Street between Taylor and Filmore Streets.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
