S. Starr witnessed this space-saving toilet placed on Trenton Street before the snow really started this morning.

Or dadaist street art?

Did dadaism have a brown period?

Here I sit, so brokenhearted
Came to shit but only farted

That's a bunch of sht!

I guess if the city really is enforcing the no-space-saver rule, this is a good way to dispose of items that wouldn't be collected in the regular garbage.

BPD has nothing better to do! This is obviously the act of a hardened felon!

Let loose I say!!

By anon on Fri, 02/05/2016 - 10:28pm.

That was my first thought. What a way to
dispose of items the city will not pick up.

Your bags of asbestos shingles. Cheaper than Clean Harbors.

It's still there:

Toilet in the snow in Boston

By anon on Fri, 02/05/2016 - 5:32pm.

open the lid so the bowl fills with snow.

I think there's no parking emergency in Boston so a space saver cannot be used..............

By anon on Fri, 02/05/2016 - 3:42pm.

It's about whether you shoveled out a parking spot (and no, no one has to shovel out today) or if you're a lazy ass and just pull out and put a space saver out.

By cybah on Fri, 02/05/2016 - 5:33pm.

No parking emergency + Space Savers = Street Trash

Come N get'em DPW...

And when you are walking down that street, with either your bladder or bowels about to burst, you will be thanking that thoughtful citizen for giving you "comfort"

By Wiffleball on Fri, 02/05/2016 - 11:07pm.

That brought back memories. Sometimes you just can't get rid of that inner 10-year-old:

When you really gotta go
an emergency, not snow
toilet saver, toilet saver

And you see it on the street
and you gotta go excrete
toilet saver, toilet saver

Go ahead and use that potty
Close your eyes and think of Mahty
toilet saver, toilet saver

Will they like the space as much
after Taco Bell for lunch
toilet saver, toilet saver

Will they still think it’s their space
once you’ve bowelized the place
toilet saver, toilet saver

By whyaduck on Fri, 02/05/2016 - 3:38pm.

a commode to go?

By bgl on Fri, 02/05/2016 - 3:40pm.

Can't wait for a plow to take that out. Moron.

By anon on Sat, 02/06/2016 - 7:04am.

It'll probably go straight into some innocent person's car.

By Scumquistador on Sun, 02/07/2016 - 6:13pm.

an innocent persons space saver

By Suldog on Fri, 02/05/2016 - 3:53pm.

... but whoever did this deserves all possible punishment.

Not only was it placed prior to any shoveling, but it is a big heavy WHITE object. If snow had reached anywhere near covering it, it would have been a serious hazard for a plow or a car or whatever other unsuspecting poor soul encountered it without seeing it first.

At least the culprit left the police something to go on.

At least the culprit left the police something to go on.

umm... that would be, "something to go in," wouldn't it?

By Sock_Puppet on Fri, 02/05/2016 - 4:49pm.

There aren't enough public restrooms

By bomber on Fri, 02/05/2016 - 9:23pm.

I wish someone would go in it! I mean really leave a mark!

This whole space saving thing is getting worse and worse, I hope someone does something stupid so they put an end to the selfish people who use space savers.

By anon on Fri, 02/05/2016 - 10:58pm.

Shooting someone made no difference, so I guess it's gotta be murder. None of this "attempted" weaksauce.

Only the best for our world-class city.

By Waquiot on Sat, 02/06/2016 - 10:58am.

And it has nothing to do with your views on space saving. The specific words

I hope someone does something stupid so they put an end to the selfish people who use space savers

implies that you want to see violence. I don't. I don't want to see violence. I want to see a reasoned discussion of the issues.

By anon on Sat, 02/06/2016 - 6:41am.

Nah, this is just someone showing Cambridge you can build a public toilet for less than $400,000.
