(Above) The parking lot at Se7enBites is bursting with different colors, designs, and forms of art following the erasing of the Pulse crosswalk. Each individual who participated in the Parking Space for Pride--A Rainbow Connection event was welcomed to let their creativity flow and create something unique to them. Rather than just decorating a few parking spots, the owner, Chef Trina Gregory, chose to let the decoration span all throughout her restaurant’s parking lot, leaving no room for a blank space while tying the overall atmosphere together as one.
