Trash as Public Amenity?

In May, Gossips shared a picture of a sofa abandoned on the now defunct Ferry Street Bridge. (When last I looked, the discarded sofa was still there.)

A reader in a comment suggested the couch may have been positioned there on the bridge to provide a comfortable place to sit while viewing the waterfront or watching trains arrive and depart.

Today, another reader sent me a picture of another discarded sofa, this one left at the water's edge in the part of the waterfront known as East Jeezus.

Given its positioning, it's easy to imagine this one was deposited here to provide a place to lounge while gazing out onto the river and the mountains beyond.

    Good to see that the City finally got around to improving these public spaces, and WITHOUT a mucho-strings-attached grant from Galvin or Colarusso. See what we can do on our own?
