Pee (Indoors) at Last!

Sotaroxbury
Back in May, Seven Days reported that the tiny town of Roxbury was adding to its 450-square-foot public library. The addition would include, among other things, a bathroom.

After all, the 1923 structure didn't have what librarian Susan D’Amicoa called a "pot to piss in.”

BREAKING NEWS: A toilet was installed last week, according to a story in today's Burlington Free Press, and the addition will soon be finished.

Turns out the addition was partly done by a Norwich University "design/build" class. The professor was Danny Sagan, who is guest curator of an ongoing design/build exhibit at the University of Vermont's Fleming Museum. For more info on the UVM show, check out my October 1 Seven Days story, "Angles in Paradise."
