Bench, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA

I like to assess a town by the presence or absence of benches for folks to hang out and relax. A city or town that offers people a place to sit demonstrates a certain welcoming public priority. Plymouth has many benches near the scenic waterfront area. The one above is in Brewster Gardens right next to the Peace Pole. There are thousands of Peace Poles around the world in at least 180 countries and are inscribed in multiple languages with the message "May Peace Prevail On Earth," all as part of the world-wide Peace Pole Project.  Judging by the current state of the world, I think we need more poles.
