Building a Bench
"Film it, show it to the world, and other people will be inspired, too."
The latest from Jeff Shinabarger, co-founder of the Fermi Project and former Catalyst guy: a bench monster.
In his words, it's "a celebration of mass transportation." But it's also a way of ministering to his community in East Atlanta Village. On his blog, Shinabarger noted, "I couldn’t just buy a bench and fix the problem, instead we are turning it into a viral idea with a custom artistic bench, recycling bins, trash cans, a flower bed and a full film crew to share the transformation with the world."

Hey - the bench idea is cool, and I love the heart and the creativity behind it. One practical question: who empties the trash can, cares for the flowers, and takes responsibility for maintenance of the bench?
