Chicago's Weird Side: Strange Things To Do

Every city has a dog poop ordinance that requires dog owners to pick-up after their pooch. Not everyone follows the rules, and sometimes the little brown deposits on the sidewalk can be downright vexing. What’s a citizen to do?

Chicago-based artist Jerzy Kenar decided to make a statement. His Shit Fountain is a huge gleaming pile of doggy poop, sculpted out of bronze and placed on a cement pedestal. His irreverent masterpiece sits on the edge of his gallery’s lot, in a residential area known as Chicago’s East Village. Definitely photo-op worthy.
