Yay for Tom Saunders, and the people supporting him, as he builds benches to place on the streets of downtown Minneapolis. Today's Star Tribune story (gift link) wasn't the first story about the benches. The Downtown Voices website covered it on April 1, and KARE-11 covered it a few days ago.
Each bench is made from salvaged wood, and has a unique phrase burned into the surface.
This bench says "Everyone deserves a place to rest." (Photo by Tom Saunders.)
The benches also carry a QR code that helps visitors contact the mayor and city council members, asking for more seating in downtown.
