Coakley spent three years in southern California researching her project, talking to everyone from crime prevention specialists to architects. In 2005, having corralled support from 45 local businesses and 65 residents, La Jolla's Kellogg Park, which gets more than 2 million visitors a year, was finally outfitted with a state-of-the-art unisex loo. The final product was awarded a Public Works of America Award for successfully addressing a wide variety of requirements: the open-air trellis roof minimizes odors; the stalls each open to the outdoors, removing fears of crime; the amenities are vandal-proof, constructed from...
...weeks, much of Greece has burned. The raging wildfires have even scorched the "lungs" of Athens, the great fir-and-pine-carpeted parapet of Mount Parnitha.

And, most recently, an obscure local punk band performed in my own garage...
...decided on a headlining band that Jayne had discovered while playing with her kids in the park. (Yes, that’s right, I live in a crazy, empty fire station in the company of my housemate's two small children.) We cleared the garage of broken athletic equipment and age-old recycling and stashed the stroller upstairs (after we used it to cart in a case of Brooklyn Lager, of course). After considering the important factors of noise pollution and bedtime, we set doors to open at the admittedly un-rock n’ roll time...
