Along Market St in San Francisco for 2 1/2 miles there were temporary installations designed to make Market St a more vibrant place. All of these pieces are designed to be interactive for people. Everything from benches to musical items to street art places to ping pong tables to play structures were installed by different groups. The public was invited to tell the organizers what they thought and a selection of these designs will go from prototype to reality to help make Market St a better place.
There were over 50 installations and I choose the ones I liked the best:

P.S. I am catching up on all the great comments that people have left over the last couple of weeks. Been out taking more photos of stuff.
