Check out dArt St. Louis: 100 people threw a dart at a map of the city of St. Louis and photographed the spot where their dart landed.Looking through the photographs, I am struck by how many were taken in North St. Louis. While I was not present to watch the dart throw -- perhaps the north end of the map had some kind of advantage -- I think it's great that the interesting and varied locations of the north side received so much attention. By my count, at least half of the photographs come from the northern half of the city.
What will be interesting is to re-photograph those locations in 25 years. What will these places look like then?

Thanks for this! I'm a St. Louisan now in New Orleans, and I'm gonna try to get a dArt NOLA happening. Any idea if the creators would mind a spin-off?
I stands to reason that 1/3 to 1/2 of the darts should land on the north side. I mean it is over 1/3 of the city despite what frequent commenters on STLToday try to say.
who were the 100 invited to throw the darts?
