Reserved parking celebrates the power of positivity | Get Uplifted

This parking sign is helping shoppers appreciate the little things.

LEESBURG, Va. — Parking in and around the D.C. region can be confusing, frustrating and annoying. Any number of signs decorate D.C. street corners, but one sign that a Get Up DC viewer spotted was not like the others seen around the DMV. 

A kind word can go a long way. The folks that manage the Best Buy at Marketplace at Potomac Station in Leesburg know that to be true.

Viewer Lisa Martin spotted a sign there that caught her attention. It reads, "Reserved parking for people who compliment a stranger." Boldly taking that spoke surely encourages the patron to spread a little positivity to the next shopper they see.

Maybe the person who received the compliment will pass it on as well. Who knows how far it could go!
