Waste Not, Want Not

What the... is that a bus coming towards me?

No. It's actually three buses cut and welded together to form a bus stop.

I don't know who decided to turn the bus stops into works of recycled trash but that's the trend here in Athens, Georgia.

This one, I'm sure, made the local skateboarders upset. Look at all this perfect rail ~ practically screaming to be used except that only a few inches exists between each piece.

I can't figure out if this is an old Tetris game or the TV set from Barney.

Just be careful what you throw away. Who knows ~ one day our stop signs might be old, unfinished ring pops!

Unfinished ring pops, that's nasty. Bits of leaves and feathers and maybe a lost mitten would stick to it.

Bart and I love finding the fun bus stops. My favorite is the Bus bus stop on Broad Street... so ironic! Maybe you should get a job with the Athens Transit designing new bus stops! Now that would be a fun job....

That first picture is exactly how a bus looks to me when I have a migraine.

Reduce, reuse, recycle. Wonderful way to put it into practice. Props to whoever thought of using these props.

Very cool!

I'm all for recycling, but those creations wouldn't fit too well in my neighborhood. Nor would they offer much protection from the wind, snow and rain here in the Great North!

I love the bus one, put the pink one is something else!

Jared and Katy said...

Hey I saw that also, crazy huh! Jared thinks they look ugly...i've never seen the pink one though, thats a little silly.
