    I feel like there may be a reason to this. It looks like the flowers got recently moved. Maybe it was in the way of the main footpath that sees the most traffic? I can see it getting moved if people repeatedly tripped over it at night or when drunk.

      I feel that this may be in a snowy region and a snow plow accidentally moved it in the winter.

        Pretty sure that’s not a movable planter. It’s literally a circle of bricks around a hole in the paving so you can plant flowers in the soil underneath. It’s not something you can push around. They built it like this, on purpose.

      Gods I hope we’re not to the point of coddling people that we’re now structuring our architecture to protect the drunks.

        If you protect the drunks you also protect the visually impaired, those with lacking motor skills, the chronically absent-minded, and Smombies. I do hope we protect the drunks.
