In a decade long protest against the village, a landowner setup yard fulls of toilets! Large poles striped with colorful ribbons sit behind each & the bowls have been to turned into planters. Some spots have other sculptures or colorful backdrops. I enjoy this comment shared to their local NCPR by an unnamed source: "People need to "loosen" up a little. Flush the negative down the drain."
