69 Meters Art Installation

My cool sister Heidi was one of the 50 artists who participated in the recent ‘69 Meters Art Installation’ along Montague Street in Brooklyn. It’s a massive knitting/art/beautification project and I’ve never seen or heard of anything like this. It got some pretty significant coverage in both the NY Times and the NY Daily News.

Essential for City Living

SitOrSquat.com

SitOrSquat.com

So I came across SitOrSquat.com today. Touted as “A Place to Find and Record Bathrooms Anywhere in the World’ (presently only in a few places listed below), this has to be one of the most overlooked topics for geo-mapped sites (also, more importantly, available for mobile devices/phones). As a long time city dweller, I can’t think of a more valuable resource. Though I imagine there are more than a few places that you could breeze into and out of to handle your business, you’ll have plenty to chose from. I doubt there is one Manhattan citizen or visitor that will not want this on their phone.

From their site:
Over 50,000 Toilets!!!
Big news today! We’ve been downloaded near 1,000 times on the iTunes App Store and we’ve added over 50,000 service station toilets in the United States. Please feel free to add photos and comments to any of them which may be in your area or if you have ever visited them. We’re currently working on adding more service stations throughout the world as more data comes in. Stay tuned!
LOCATIONS
In the US: Seatle, WA, Dallas, TX, Atlanta, GA, New York, NY, Miami, FL, Chicago, IL, San Francisco, CA
In the UK: London, UK
I found out about this via Thrillist
