Have you seen a green park bench painted "miller park neighborhood"?
A couple of weeks ago, some parents were waiting our usual 5-20 minutes for the elementary school bus to reach its stop at 19th/republican. We thought about how nice it would be to have a place to sit. Feeling inspired and neighborly, a park bench was procured and placed in the dirt patch at 19th/republican, by the utility pole. It was painted "miller park neighborhood".
It disappeared overnight.
The next day it was found along Republican, presumably by mistake/prank, and brought back to 19th/republican where it was secured by a heavy-duty cable & lock.
Within 24 hours, it disappeared again!
There was no evidence of the presumed cut cable, lock, or bench. I erroneously assumed the adjacent property owner (apartment) was involved, but the manager/owner confirmed no.
Any information leading to recovery of this donated community resource would be much appreciated. It can live somewhere else if needed, I would just like to know where it is and why it was offensive in its prior location.
Thanks!
Stephanie
I live in the apartment building that overlooks that spot. I saw the bench there, but didn't see how or why it disappeared. I'll keep my eyes open and perhaps ask my building manager if they know anything.
