I noticed it for the first time last spring. Every night, as I took the el home, we would past this one abandoned lot. Most of the time I just passed by without really seeing it, 'til one day it caught my attention. I noticed that a space had been cleared and it seemed that something had been planted. Over the next day or two, each time I passed, I noticed a rock outline that grew incrementally until it surrounded the whole plot. After the outline was completed, it seemed that the work was done and I didn't really pay it much mind. I just supposed that somebody had taken an affinity to that empty lot and thought to put it to use. I figured a bunch of veggies or something would eventually emerge.
Then, weeks later, I happened to glance out the window one night, on my way past, and saw fresh, green buds poking out of the ground, spelling out the word ""
IMAGINE". How awesome is that?
So, this year, as spring approached, I kept an eye out to see if the garden message would return. While I missed the initial budding, I did catch this picture:

If you look closely, you'll see that the plants spell out "
IMAGINE" again.
Can you see why I love this city? :)
