Up to now, the right weather-measuring tools have never been in the right program at the right time. Starting in November...

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...
