The 13 foot diameter circle showed up on or about Aug 12, 2003. The leaves and stems of the grasses in the circle are gently laid over starting from the center of the circle, and pointing out towards the outer edges of the circle as spokes on a wheel. There are no obvious breaks or bends in the stems. All seem to have laid down as if they were wilted, although the plants do seem to be alive and healthy. The leaves and stems have not yet made any discernable movement towards straightening back out.

My trash can left a similar, if smaller, circle in my back yard.
Vacant lot circles are circular areas of land that are currently not being used or developed for any specific purpose. They can be found in urban, suburban, or rural areas and can vary in size and shape.
There can be several reasons for vacant lot circles. Some may be the result of abandoned or neglected properties, while others may be intentionally left undeveloped for future use or as green spaces. Economic factors, zoning restrictions, and lack of investment can also contribute to vacant lot circles.
The answer to this question can vary depending on the context. In some cases, vacant lot circles can be seen as a blight on a neighborhood and can attract illegal dumping and other criminal activities. However, vacant lot circles can also provide benefits such as stormwater management, wildlife habitats, and community gardens.
There are many ways that vacant lot circles can be utilized. Some cities have implemented programs to turn vacant lots into community gardens, parks, or public art spaces. Other potential uses include developing affordable housing, commercial spaces, or urban farms. The best use of a vacant lot circle will depend on the needs and priorities of the community.
The impact of vacant lot circles on the environment can vary depending on their location and use. In some cases, they can contribute to urban heat islands and stormwater runoff. However, vacant lot circles that are turned into green spaces can help mitigate these issues and provide benefits such as carbon sequestration and air quality improvement.
