Oh, that's rich. But at least it was a replica and so much more affordable than the original. And they were offering a 10 percent discount.

Brave blocks my ads, so I miss out on these kinds of gems....

We had benches in the bus ramps at the Staten Island Ferry too. They were removed a few months ago. Replaced by structures attached to the brick walls that allow you to lean on them, but you can't sit or lie. I've never seen such a thing before.

No place to put your tired ass anymore.

Feeling sad for the homeless in one more way.
There's just no refuge.
