We came across the wishing bench by accident. I am not really sure of its origins. There was also a really cool sculpture across the street from made from lids. I am told that East Lawrence is becoming an arty neighborhood. I'm not sure if we were even in East Lawrence, to be honest. We were at the corner of 9th and Delaware, I believe.
