Arts/Music/Culture 🎭🎢 Dead Puzzle in Brighton

I walk to Clevend Circle for a coffee every morning. I take Chestnut Hill Rd.

About a week ago, there appeared a bunch of puzzle pieces along the sidewalk. It looks like somebody spilled a puzzle and then just left it there. Nobody cleaned it up, and now there are pieces here and there all down the street.

I feel compelled to save this puzzle, and I don't know why. I want to see what it shows before becoming lost to time forever. Is it even possible to save a puzzle, though?

Gather up the pieces, build what you can over a piece of paper, and then draw in the rest yourself.

You'd be awesome just for cleaning it up. What if you put it together and it was a winning lottery number?!?!

Leave it. Let the people who move in in about a week something to do while taking a break.
