We've watched and waited while the Rec Center construction project has remained unfinished, so it was nice in the meantime to see that good, old fashioned DIY spirit could get something accomplished in the park - repairing and painting the benches in the 13th Street patio. We had a variety of locals out there painting last weekend, including staff and kids from Columbus Charter School. I had two 10-year olds in the house, and I put them to work, too. They actually fell for my "Oh yes painting benches is so much fun" line, borrowed from Tom Sawyer. But they had fun too, there were donuts and water bottles.
Note that there's one guy without a paint brush!
Almost finished ....
DONE! ... thanks to the folks at the Sherwin-Williams store, 11th & Washington, who donated the paint and supplies.
