A town with public benches is a civilized kind of town. Benches and sidewalks. Sidewalks and benches. Benches where a dad can help a kid with a messy ice cream cone, where an older citizen can take a break from his daily constitutional, where a shopper can organize her armload of purchases.
I’m grateful to the town government, the independent library, the performing arts center, and — especially — the many businesses that pay to place and maintain benches in Concord. It’s the little things that make for quality of life.
Want to send me a photo of a public bench in your town? How about you, Arlington? Stockholm?
