    I think they say this about Maryland, as well. Though I'm not sure if maybe it's just Baltimore? @mhardy6647?

    It's really every big city. Any metro area over 1 million probably amplifies the crazy driver experience. I've lived around Detroit and Atlanta. Both equally crazy. Road trips have found similar in Nashville, Cincinnati, Louisville, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Grand Rapids, Flint, Jacksonville (pretty much all of Florida for that matter), Charlotte, etc.

    Having commuted in and around Boston & Cambridge for a number of years -- absolutely nothing on the road surprises me. :/
    There are left turn lanes in Cambridge and Norwood that are routinely short circuited by drivers who don't want to wait in the line turning left, so they whip around on the right, making the left turn from the right lane in front of the hapless, law abiding folks who didn't grow up there. :#
    A favorite memory from the old days of "The Central Artery" in Boston: Seeing a guy in very heavy traffic, in a lane that was ending had ended open his driver's door out into traffic and follow it in to the through lane, closing it slowly as he nosed doored in.

    Gotta say, that is creative repurposing. Fire sterilizes, so no worries there.

    Colorado small town abandoned by the state after all elected officials resign, water concerns grow

    Hartman, which has a population of 30 in southeast Colorado, saw its three active trustees resign in January, a day after a brawl erupted between four women following a board of trustees meeting, according to The Denver Post.

    A small town in Colorado has been declared abandoned by the state after its remaining elected officials resigned, leading its troubled water system to become a "health hazard" to its residents, according to state officials.

    The Office of the Colorado Secretary of State said the determination was made this week after a public hearing showed that "the Town of Hartman had no Board of Trustees or Town Clerk, was unable to hold a town election, and owned infrastructure critical for the treatment or delivery of water to residents."

    @ptrooper - Isn't there also supposed to be a steering wheel on that bottom section, or is that just certain models?

    While we are on the bathroom topic:

    Entire Spider-Man screening evacuated after film-goers' rancid farts cause chaos
    Movie fans expected Spider-Man to save the day – instead they were forced to fee when one mystery cinema-goer's rancid f*rt reportedly emptied the entire screening within minutes

    A screening of the latest Spider-Man film was thrown into chaos after one cinema-goer reportedly cleared the entire auditorium with their rancid farts. Movie fans watching Spider-Man: Brand New Day were forced to abandon the screening on Saturday (August 2) after a foul smell spread through the packed cinema.

    Rather than sit through the stench, hundreds of viewers got up and left the darkened screen, spilling into the corridor of the cinema at the Plaza Bocagrande shopping center in Cartagena, Colombia. Footage from the scene shows crowds gathered outside the auditorium, with some people covering their noses as they waited. A person dressed as Spider-Man could also be seen mingling with disappointed filmgoers.

    According to local reports, the culprit has never been identified.
