Benches and a whole lot of water don’t usually mix, but we feel like this kind of thing might actually be intentional. When it rains, this spout dumps the water down onto a bench…which we guess is what happens to most benches when it rains. We don’t know how this little combination happened, but it probably wasn’t intentional. Water pouring onto that specific spot for so long is going to wear the bench out unevenly.
Even if this wasn’t intentional, why would the water spout pour the water onto the street like that? Does it then flow into a gutter and from there into a sewer? Perhaps, but we can’t see it in this picture. Of course, if you’re sitting out in the rain, you’re getting wet one way or another.
We Don’t Understand How it Was so Hard
Seriously, how did this happen? We don’t know if it was the tree planter who messed up or if it was the people who were in charge of creating the path and planters, but somebody really dropped the ball. And it wasn’t just once, either! The tree in the foreground was put in the wrong spot, but the tree that’s farther back is also in the wrong spot!
Somebody REALLY dropped the ball here. The only thing we can think of to make some sense of this is those open spots are where new trees are going to be placed. But we don’t think the already-established trees are going to be moved. It’s pretty tough to get trees that have taken root, especially if they’re under all that pavement.
Feel Like We’re Forgetting Something
Why, that’s quite the charming balcony, isn’t it? Nice railing, a good size, and the windows around it have a nice look to them, too. But...there’s something missing. We’re having a little bit of trouble putting our finger on it, but we feel like it’s just not finished yet. Like they didn’t make something right, or forgot to add something.
Well, whatever, we’ll figure it out while we’re sitting after a long day of work, with a nice glass of tea in our hands and the sun on our face. Or maybe we’ll enjoy it during the morning, getting prepped for a big day, enjoying a sip of coffee and a crossword puzzle before we bend to our tasks. Yeah, that sounds pretty nice. One way or another, we can’t wait to enjoy this balcony.
Elf School
There are a bunch of old schools that have these strange half-doors that are jammed up into the ceiling. As a child, you might think that they’re in that place so the janitors could get up to the mechanical parts of the school – the heaters, the air conditioning, even the elevators, or things like that. But, apparently, there are a lot of schools that just have these doors as walls just jammed up into the ceiling.
Sometimes the building was just made incorrectly. There are tons of school buildings out there that were kind of thrown together in order to make more room for the kids that were entering the school system. Thankfully, this little thing does nothing to make learning harder or more difficult, and they give the school a good amount of character, too.
Side Quest Required
We’re going to go ahead and guess that this wall doesn’t actually open, no matter how much we wished it did, since then we’d probably see the hinges in the picture or see what was inside. But, then again, why does it have not one but TWO locks implanted into the bricks? This is like in “Doom,” when you go around pressing the spacebar button on the walls trying to find secrets, but for this one, you’ll need a couple of keys.
We’re guessing a blue skull key and a red skull key. Maybe this was just some sort of prank that the buildings did because they felt like doing something fun. Maybe this was some kids who wanted to make something special for explorers. Or, maybe it’s a secret tunnel.
