It's actually happening!

Looky, looky, little cookie.  The installers started on my first bench yesterday, about 10:30.  I went back with my husband at about 5 and took this picture.  Everything on the sidewalk side is in except for the tiles they had to cut, and it is BE UUU TEE FULLL.  I couldn't possibly be more tickled.  This has been a long road, and to see it become reality is just a dream.  If you want to see it and are in downtown Chandler this weekend, this bench is at the corner of Buffalo and Arizona Avenue, right down the street from Sushi Eye.  Al and Sue's bench is in at AZ Ave. and Boston, and there's another down by Serrano's that's close to done.  This is just too cool.
