This watermelon looks good enough to eat, but instead of biting into it, please sit on it and take a fabulous "selfie." The newest attraction in Lincoln, the watermelon bench, the brainchild of Alderman Steve Parrott, has finally come to fruition. This bench sits outside the soon-to-be-open Museum of Route 66, located in the former State Bank building on the 500 block of Broadway Street. More benches will appear as we head into spring and the 100th anniversary of Route 66.

The museum is well underway and slated to open to the public in early June.
