I'm not going to go into what the Toynbee tiles are. . . there's a feature length documentary after all:
But today, taking a break from work and headed to 33 E. Congress to see a few student gallery shows, I walked across either a Toynbee tile or the tile of a copycat that's paying pretty great homage. . .
For you Toynbee fans--Wabash Ave. in the lefthand turn lane just north of Harrison.
Go, Devil Brushhogs, indeed!

Where's the pic of the one on Ohio Turnpike? Which rest area?
Here's the old post about the robot: http://fivetreestalk.blogspot.com/2009/10/last-day-of-travel.html
I took the picture back in 2009 and didn't know that it was part of a larger mystery. So, I don't remember which rest stop, but I think it was on of the very first off the turnpike after crossing the Ohio border from Pennsylvania. The robot was definitely located on the east side of the rest stop.
Are you trying to hunt them down?
We just spotted a robot in the crosswalk at S. Congress and Annie. Do you remember where this photo was taken? Wabash is quite short, before it turns into Medical Pkwy and I don't know of a Harrison St. in Austin. I'd like to see it, if at all possible. Thanks!
Hey James, that's Wabash Avenue in Chicago. . . not Austin. Sorry.
