Bed-Stuy Aquarium

I read recently about the type of random off-the-beaten attraction I love, this one in the historic Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. A leaky hydrant led to a few locals to the idea of creating the Bed-Stuy Aquarium.

As the official site (yes it has one!) notes, "What started as a random idea on a hot day amongst homeboys quickly became a global conversation about art, creativity, connection and environmental sustainability."

When I walked by on a beautiful Autumn afternoon, many locals were passing by, to check out this viral curiosity.

(And yes, they have a plan to save them come winter)
