In the tradition of letterboxing, geocaching, and the days before weed carriers, Drop Spots is a website where people exchange gifts through hidden locations. After exchanging an item, or creating a new location, instructions are left on the website for others to follow. We checked out “The Green Pipe.”

“On Dean Street, between Franklin & Classon. Next to a door, with the number 983 spraypainted on it, there’s a double-spout green pipe sticking out of the building. Look inside! (it’s on the North side of the street)”

We were disappointed. The pipe was empty and our Gumby action figure, a gift to exchange, was far too big to comfortably leave behind. You can check out the map to find drop spots in your neighborhood or to create your own.
