This bench is on the corner of Bleecker and Charles Street. This is the work of Paul McClure who found the bench on another street corner and moved it here. While he was in the process of doing that, he was ‘greeted by a woman’ who was desperate at that time to save the tiles {see earlier post on tiles being gathered in against the impending storm}. He and she teamed up for a while. They visited the flower market and gathered up all the flower discards. Now he works alone. He bikes his flowers home and after parsing them, displays them here. He says they last about one week. He reports that the bench could use some LOL [guess that is lots of love… like TLC] and he is looking to replace much of the wood this summer with long rows of white burch [sic] trees. It is such a delight to pass as one walks by. What others do to make our lives have joy in them. The small print says: Sending Love to New York City and the World.
