Pull Up a Seat

Chicago's Lincoln Lodge For this weekly challenge every Friday morning Xingfu Mama challenges us to post photos of something you'd sit on.  To play along: Create a post with a photo of places one sits or might sit, or art about sitting, and maybe a little background or story about the spot or a picture of the view. Add a tag “Pull up a Seat”. Add a link to your post in my comment section, either by writing a comment with your URL or by creating a pingback (when you create a link to my post within your post with the chain icon in the editor). Mine's from a comedy club in Chicago, the Lincoln Lodge.
