Here in Helsinki I've been seeing some local restaurants converting the parking spots up front into patio space for the summer.

Once it was clear they could choose between two parked cars, or four more tables for customers, a lot seem to be picking the latter.

I'm often impressed with Finland. The attitudes and decision making the nation expresses are often very grounded and data driven.

The trams in Helsinki were also phenomenal. I loved getting around town so easily.
