I had driven that road for years. But maybe I had never stopped at that particular light before, and never looked in that particular direction.
But there he was.
Abraham Lincoln, seated on a park bench, of all places, idling the afternoon away, watching traffic.
Which I think he deserves.
Here, I'll blow it up a bit. Lincoln, right? On a blue sofa, more than a bench.
He's on a fairly busy street, so I don't imagine he'll stump you for long.
Forget "seems."
Nothing stumps you.
Period.
But I'm working on it.
I'm sort of hoping whoever cracks this can fill me in a bit on this Lincoln.
Which is my way of being lazy, because I could just drive there, park and, one expects, finds a plaque or something.
But who has time for that?
Anyway, where is this place?

Please post your guesses below. Good luck.
Oh boy, I know exactly where that is, Neil!! I've won once this year already, so I defer to someone else...
