Local Residents FURIOUS After City Park Bench Replaced with Rotten Tomatoes Display – 'Use Some Common Sense!'
Angry local resident Greg Thompson has unleashed a firestorm on the Oakwood Community Facebook Group after discovering that the beloved park bench at Maple Grove was replaced with a giant, decaying sculpture made entirely of old rotten tomatoes. “This is what our tax dollars pay for? A stinking pile of rotten tomatoes where seniors used to sit? Use some common sense, already! We don’t need modern art, we need a place to rest,” Thompson fumed in a post that has now been shared over 2,000 times. The city council, meanwhile, defends the installation as a “bold commentary on food waste,” but residents are calling for a recall vote.
