The New Living Room: Activating the Sidewalk

Movie Projecting in the Tenderloin

What's better than watching South Park with a cold beer in your hand? Watching South Park with a cold beer in hand outside, especially when you can watch it on the side of a three story building! Last night in the Tenderloin I ran into this amazing spectacle created by two guys standing outside of the Amsterdam Cafe on Geary Street. With a laptop and a small projector propped up on a table.

It's random moments like this that remind me of how magical cities can be when individuals chose to take some small action in order to make a big impact on the cityscape around them and transform public space into the experience of their liking in the process.

  1. I wonder how it feels to live beside a side walk. The idea of putting that living room near the side walk is great. Maybe a curtain can hide that glass so people won't think that you are actually peeking on them.
