a view from recently demolished 669 Genesee Street


While Walking Down Jefferson Ave...follow-up
Early last month I was walking down Jefferson Avenue checking out construction developments on the new library. I quickly noticed these new benches that Tops Market placed at various locations along Jefferson. In this post I didn't think much of the locations and actually thought they were placed way too close to the street.

Well it looks like someone else thought this bench was way too close...check out the skid marks!

Wanna bet the replacement bench is located the same three feet from the street?
