POPO-Wow.


For you urban dwellers, I hope you're all aware of the POPOS (Privately Owned Public Open Spaces) near you and have had a chance to take advantage of them, especially if masses of people hinder your enjoyment of taking lunch outdoors. A dear friend, and budding urban planner pointed these out to me and mentioned that some of these public spaces have the best views of the cityscape yet are relatively unknown.
