NPS-AD: Intrepid Walking Tour Drifts Through Arlington’s Invisible Sites

Thank you to everyone who joined me on the New Public Sites – Arlington Drift walking tour last Saturday. From undead condo projects to underground rivers, I learned a lot during our hour-long journey together. I hope you enjoyed seeing Balston’s invisible sites as much as I did. May our floating zone of radical pedestrianism continue with infinite freedom.

Among towers, over voids, within our fleeting reflective movements
there live vistas invisible and playscapes for all.

Immersed in the sublime matter of place,
grasping these moments of our daily passing,
drifting through infinite sites of freedom,
we test the limits of space public
and cultivate situations unseen.
