It's becoming increasingly clear that the security breakdowns associated with certain ticketholder gates at the Swearing-In ceremony last Tuesday were a lot worse than anybody first realized, but if there's one thing that inaugural officials didn't underestimate, it was the number of port-a-potties the city would need. Thanks to the reported 7,500 portable toilets deployed all over the city for last week's festivities, we never once heard anyone complain that they had trouble finding a pot to piss in (of course, that might have something to do with the freezing temperatures outside helping people decide that holding it was worth it).
Penn Quarter Living caught some images of port-a-johns being hauled away from Pennsylvania Ave. over the weekend, so we thought we'd pay tribute to the city's towering temporary toilet achievement by compiling the best DCist Flickr pool shots that incorporate the now-disappearing rows of plastic booths. The port-a-potties were an artistic inspiration to a surprising number of our Flickr contributors.
Have you noticed many leftover port-a-potties still hanging around town? More importantly, have you smelled them?

boy, talk about a "Dear John" letter.
best one is the one that says "we're #1 in the #2 business"
Props for the Urinetown reference.
South of the mall (the ghetto side) Porta Potties were missing in action. I actually offered to pay a tour bus operator $20 to use his bus's bathroom, I was so desperate. Once on the mall though they were everywhere. He didn't charge me.
