Andy: “A group of friends—including one of Culture Making's "early adopters," Jeff Shinabarger—makes a small good thing at an Atlanta bus stop. And then they make this video, which spreads the word. Sometimes cultural creativity is terribly complex and challenging. But sometimes it's so simple you wonder why we don't all spend our days off doing beautiful, fun things like this. Of course, the challenge will come over the coming months and years—will Jeff and his neighbors keep the paint fresh, the flowers watered, the mulch raked? That will be the true sign that this became a lasting cultural good. I hope they make a film about that, too.”
