Then I noticed each of the 6 Benches in this spot had little signs on it, so I went to take a look what they said often the signs on benches in the city may say who donated the benches, but this was not the case here as you can see.

I seem to notice these days there are so many more signs telling us what we cannot do and too few telling us what we can do, is it a sign of today's society.
That said I often see people having to live on the street sleeping on benches or sidewalks, and perhaps the owner of the area does not want that outside their business,

Even with the cold spell, we are having at the moment I still see people sleeping on the street in well below freezing temperatures, and feel so for those that for whatever reason are in a position that they have to sleep on the street, and do pray and hope they can find a way to get themselves of the street.

I know in both NYC and where I live there are homeless shelters that people can go to so they can get out of the cold especially at night, but all of those also have rules and some people on the street do not wish to abide by the rules but I do feel its a sad state of the world with all the money that is spent on so-called defense or military spending and other craziness that more could not be spent for supporting and getting people off the street and helping them with the issues they are dealing with, and or on medical research.

but enough of a vent from me onto the next sign.

The next sign as you can see said no littering, one which I agree with, in NYC on just about every corner are rubbish bins so I do find it annoying when I asee people walking down the street people just drop there trash on the street, is it really that hard to carry it half a block and drop it in a rubbish bin.

And the final sign says No Loitering, I always wonder what exactly that means I know the definition is to stand or wait around idly or without apparent purpose so if you sit on this bench and just relax how long can you sit there before it is considered loitering?

OK this post meant to be just a post of the benches but went off in another direction, but that happens a lot with me so I will sign off now
