As the concrete behemoths close their gates, take a moment to appreciate the empty space they leave behind. It’s a blank canvas for our cities, and for our daily routines. Next time you walk past an NCP with a “closing soon” sign, don’t mourn the missing cars. Celebrate the potential for a bench, a tree, or a quiet street where you can actually hear the birds.
Life moves differently when you’re not circling for a spot. You might just find you have a little more room to park your thoughts. And that, honestly, is the best perk of all.
