abandoned couch oakland

linda — Sat, 07 Jul 2012 15:49:34 +0000

This “abandoned couch oakland” was found just around the corner from my cottage in Redwood Heights @ Fair Avenue and Wilke Street. Not a typical find for my neighborhood, so I was incredibly happy when I stumbled upon it and considered stretching out on the dirty coverlet for a quick nap amidst the fallen leaves and the crumpled FREE sign.
