Giant Chess in Promenade des Bations
No peeing, dogs off leash, graffiti, loud music, or littering! That just about covers it- nothing about taking a photo of the sign, so I am in the the clear.

Du bitume au grenier: Histoire d'une rue singuliere a Geneve
This is a wonderful book of images from the members of a housing collective in Geneva. They celebrated 20 years of successfully running the collective. I stopped by to see what it was all about and was quite impressed- the collective consists of the housing, a lovely restaurant, a movie theater, and some shops. I'd love to live there.
Rue Lissignol, the site of the collective
Clémentine, a sculpture of an emaciated, and melancholy girl: On the trees and fences around the sculpture, as in this photo, there are often clippings and messages protesting child abuse, female genital mutilation and domestic violence against women. Weekly, for the past thirty years, Clémentine has been given a flower to hold in her hand. She was missing her flower the day I visited.
Rue de Vermont: There's no place like home, but this was comforting.
