Sometimes people let us down.

Sometimes people let us down. And that's okay. We learn to keep our heads up. We grow. We mature and develop through hardships and struggles. At least that's what I've been telling myself for the past couple hours. I am aware of the responsibility that I have undertaken by starting TPT, but sometimes it is difficult to carry on and fulfill my doodies as the author of such an important site.

Today was one such example.

I left my house a little after 10 am today to go downtown and test drive a couple public toilets that I haven't yet had the pleasure of using, the first of which being the Public Restroom at Camden Garage and the other being the Public Restroom at Meeting House Garage.

Both were locked.

There was a paper sign taped to the doors of both restrooms that said they were closed. I was gutted. The Charleston Public Restroom system had failed me after all I have done to generate traffic in their bathrooms. I saw a man urinating in a bush just outside of the Meeting Street Garage restroom and I was extremely tempted to join him, but I didn't. I rezipped my fly and began the three mile walk back to my car.

However, defeats like this will not break my stride. TPT is important. TPT is necessary. TPT is my life. And I will not let my readers down. I will be back with a review before you know it.

On a lighter note, I have been thinking about maybe starting a vlog channel so that you guys can get an up close and personal insider's look into exactly what goes on in these public restrooms when I am conducting my research.

Public Restroom Downtown Summerville

This one's a bit of a drive, but I promise you it is well worth it. Tucked away in an alleyway in downtown Summerville is a true hidden gem of the Charleston bathroom scene. This bathroom is as solid as they come. Single occupancy restrooms are kind of a double-edged sword. On one hand, they obviously allow the user privacy to evacuate themselves in peace and quiet. On the other hand though, if there is any sort of a line of people waiting to use the restroom, a traffic jam of occasionally disastrous consequences is created. Fortunately, this particular bathroom is tucked away enough for this to not be a problem. In fact, I had been to downtown Summerville dozens of times before this without even realizing there was a public bathroom there at all. This particular bathroom is no bark, all bite. It doesn't need any bells or whistles to get the job done. It doesn't need the flashiness of the Charleston Visitor's Center bathroom or the pompous bad boy attitude of the Majest...

Public Restroom at Jack Adams Tennis Center

I'm finally back with a new review. Admittedly, I have kind of neglected this blog lately, but not without good reason. Legally speaking, I'm not at liberty to go into too much detail here, but I have been called upon as an expert witness in a court case regarding a life injury sustained in a Charleston public bathroom last summer. Don't worry, the victim is currently in good hands on life support at MUSC, so you can bet he'll be receiving a healthy payout. I think this is really going to be a turning point for the Charleston public restroom system and the worldwide public restroom community as a whole. As I said before, I can't go into much more detail about it until the court proceedings are complete, but I believe that this will serve as a historical landmark in the modernization of the bathroom experience at the municipal level. This is why I always encourage my readers to write to their local lawmakers to express your concerns about the state of our public rest...

Public Restroom at Charleston County Public Library - Main

Well, folks, you asked for it and here I am to deliver. This was one of the most highly requested bathrooms I have ever reviewed, so my expectations were high. Unfortunately, I found this bathroom to be largely unremarkable. For the most part, this bathroom was fairly standard. Two urinals and a handicap accessible stall, so you and all your cripple friends can pee freely. You can also find a baby-changing station and two automatic hand dryers here, as well as the traditional paper towel dispensers for all you purists out there. The one thing that this bathroom has that no other bathroom I've seen can offer is high quality bathroom reading. They do ask that you not bring reading material into the restroom but I think that's more of a suggestion like not driving drunk or not forcing your children to wear spandex bodysuits and body oil so you can practice wrestling moves on them. Some of the original manuscripts they possess in the Charleston room make for especially good bathroo...
