This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Portland, Oregon did it first. And they just got rid of the freeway instead of burying it.
I totally puked a litre of concentrated grape juice in that hot park in 1999.
Guess whose German wasn’t nearly as awesome as they thought it was…
The before reminds me of Portland. The waterfront is wasted with i5 and roads running through it.

Always love more greenery .
Seattle did the same thing. So much better.
Where are the roads? There could easily be a 15 lane highway right there!
Scheinbar passiert doch etwas in unseren Städten. 😊
I think we need a middle-vote button.
I can’t wait to see Seattle’s viaduct on here when the full parks, sidewalks, and bike lanes get finished!
Reminds me of an old science fiction novel I read years ago. Teleportation had became common, so people no longer needed cars. The entire system of interstate highways was converted to long, narrow parks.
It's so weird to me that for some people the only way to escape the car dependency is to invent fucking teleportation.

I like 2019 more.
At first I read the comments and was appalled, then I realized I automatically assumed the shittier picture was the new one. I'm assuming it's because I've never seen it go this direction before.
