On April 30th, 2009, one hundred St. Louisians stepped up to the line and threw their dart at the giant map of St. Louis City. They then had a month to visit the block where their dart landed and take a photograph.

The results are beautifully chronicled at dartstlouis.com.

A sampling:

    This is a really cool idea. Though Pittsburgh’s shape doesn’t really lend itself well to a dartboard.

    I think this is a great idea that other cities should copy.

    The quality of photos are fantastic– they look professional. Though I do think these photos unfairly characterize St. Louis as a desolate, empty city, but in reality, there are many more healthy areas than distressed ones.
