Great post Penny, as always. Your comment about bus stops made me think of this bus stop in the greater Stockholm area, complete with folk art, a little lending library (with books in multiple languages!), a plant/seed sharing box, and ample benches protected from the weather. https://photos.app.goo.gl/y7JAAJoNRrBjMi5n7 I moved here after living in Saskatoon (where I first started following your blog) and fair to say that the contrast in public transit is SUBSTANTIAL. :D
Thank you, Catherine. What a lovely bus stop. May I share your photograph in next week's Footnotes? The folk art is a nice touch and often lacking in a very utilitarian approach to providing infrastructure. There's one street in Victoria where the locals have painted jazzy cats on all the utility poles and it's such fun.
