Chances are, you've played out some part of your romantic life on the stage that is public space.  Meeting, courting, kissing, dancing, dining -- love happens where people are free to enjoy the company of others!

To celebrate Valentine's Day, PPS is partnering with Romantic Ribbons to collect entries on the most romantic public spaces in the US.  Romantic Ribbons, a UK-based organization run by Rethinking Cities, organizes walking tours that focus on romantic locales in downtown areas.

How To Contribute:

Visit www.romanticribbons.net starting Saturday, February 14, 2009 to nominate a romantic place.  Entries are created in the form of postcards written as though the entrant was writing from the nominated locale.

The nominations will be featured in an exhibit at the 2009 Walk 21 Conference, to be held October 7-9 in New York City.
