Ideas.

The following is an attempt at good ideas, stream of consciousness style. Keyword: attempt.

An anonymous community dream journal. A community garden. A non-profit bank. A non-profit health care organization. A non-profit car insurance group. A day off from school that coincides with a mandatory public transportation only day -- all the school buses can be used to pick up all the business men and women heading all over, but downtown mostly. Just to see what happens. A bigger community garden. A women's night out. A cut you're neighbors lawn day. And by neighbor I mean randomly assigned fellow city resident. More! A traveling drum circle and by traveling I mean by foot, in a line, all over the city. For a week. A coin tossing contest. A city wide photo taking contest where the winning entry is put on the side of a bus (or five). A city sponsered political discussion group, no yelling allowed. A dog walking day through downtown Tampa. A public graffiti contest. A 'Beat Last Years Recycling Percentage' contest. A stand on your street city wide moment: everyone attempts to stand in their street at the same time for 5 minutes. A dvd swap: everyone brings a movie to a central location that they are willing to trade and everyone finds someone (a stranger) they would like to trade with. A photo swap in the same vein. And a book swap. Whats the point of living in a city if no one is going to get out of their car?

Please.... discuss.

Zac,
Love these ideas! Would you consider submitting to the Tampa paper to see if there is local appeal?

Love,
