It’s cool to do it for a week. It’s truly epic to keep it up — maybe not everyday, but maybe one or two days per week. Ease your way in. Pretty soon you’ll be selling a car and giving yourself a big $$$ raise. And losing weight. And enjoying your community. And saving the environment.

Here’s what’s been showing up in downtown Springfield lately — the tape men (made with colored masking tape):

Gotta have at least one bicycle-themed person, and that's a Doobie Brothers LP for the head :-)

Definite improvement...

One might entitle this one "The Critic."

A collaboration. But the addition is just cheap, regular masking tape. Shouldn't one retain the integrity of the original? Hmmmmm...

I could live in one of these communities. I would be especially interested if it were situated in Springfield’s urban core close to downtown.

So, any Carbon Trace readers think this idea has possibilities?

UPDATE: Join the local Pocket Neighborhood group on Facebook.

This one looks nasty.
