Here’s an organization that sounds right up the IL alley: “Swings Tampa Bay is a spontaneous community building organization! We hang hand-made hand-painted Swings all over Tampa Bay on trees, random structures, inside buildings, off of bridges…anywhere and everywhere, really. ..We don’t get permission for all of them and we never really have an exact location picked out. We just find a fun place that speaks to us and go for it!” Read more about them here: http://swingstampabay.com/#section2

I just did that with my friends this past weekend! It was exhilarating.
