A beautiful and comfy park bench in Kalorama Park. I took this picture on May 13, 2006 and posted a Flickr set about it
and the little notebook tucked underneath. Ten days later I was wandering past the same spot and the bench was gone! Click the thumbnail at right to see the empty space left by the bench's removal. I hope it's just been removed for some temporary reason—maintenance or something. Otherwise we may have to consider the possibility that someone broke it up and used “the wood to light a fire to smoke their crack.”
