Randomly selected photos from The Bench, taken within the past few days.
Clockwise from top left: (1) A truck with heavy grafitti sits at N. Glenwood and W. Morse, (2) a rose blooms during Thanksgiving Day snow flurries; (3) local lunatics poster the neighborhood in hopes of sparking a Bolshevik-style revolution here; (4) a last look at the White Hen Pantry, now a scummy 7-Eleven, at W. Pratt and N. Sheridan.
