From Shea Stadium Bathrooms to Park Restrooms

The Parks Department will be salvaging various parts of Shea Stadium for use in other park facilities--and the Daily News sums it up, "Parts of Shea will keep on Flushing." Toilets, urinals, sinks, lights, doors, soap dispensers and other supplies will be removed and kept on hand for future needs in rec centers, park bathrooms, etc. The Parks Department's Shea director even pointed out that the orange stall dividers "can be painted different colors...From a technical standpoint, a light fixture that's five years old is just as good as a light fixture that's new. These fixtures have a replacement cost of $500, so it's a home run for us."

What a revolutionary idea. Paint, even over an existing color. Revolutionary!
