Little outdoor dancefloor situated on an empty lot. Put a coin in the washing machine, plug in your phone and play your own music, disco lights included! Be warned, it deactivates at 10pm although there is no sign saying so and will simply eat your money. Gap filler has quite a few cute art projects around the city, it's worth checking out their website.
