On August 12th early bus riders (I was one of them) at the Eastgate Mall Bus Stop in Chapel Hill, North Carolina were pleasantly surprised.
Somebody left a basket with magazines and a few art work pieces. The basket was decorated with a few artificial flowers; a note attached to it was addressed to all users of the bus stop mentioning that the reading material was meant as a bus stop amenity.
I do thank the person or persons that thought about us. I feel that the idea could be conceptualized and incorporated at bus stops around town.

Yo tambien me encontre con la canastita...me parecio un gesto muy dulce de la persona que la puso ahi!
ReplyDeletePor cierto...estoy agarrando el "Robertson" de nuevo. Le di mi tarjeta a Roberto que es quien monta el "TT" un par de veces en semana de camino a casa del "Durham Tech."
Ultimamente, compro la que nos da 20 vueltas & asi no pierdo $$.
What a wonderful idea! Thanks for the photos, as well. Beautiful thought from an anonymous angel.
ReplyDeleteQué crees que pasaría en Chile con las revistas y el canasto? Hasta desde las consultas médicas o de dentistas se llevan las revistas viejas.

ReplyDeleteAfter 48h the basket was gone but the idea was left behind.
I hope that this concept will take root and grow.
I hope that the Town of Chapel Hill will incorporate permanent book baskets at their new bus stop shelters and other towns will follow this lead.
