Public Restroom at Majestic Square Garage

Long-time followers of Tasteful Public Toilets will know that the city of Charleston and I have occasionally been at odds regarding the upkeep of their public bathrooms. I was under the assumption that the issue had been resolved. This is apparently not the case.

Yesterday, I took a trip to the Target in downtown Charleston to pick up a few items for my son. I had heard rumor of a bathroom tucked away in the parking garage down the street, so I knew I had to check it out. A bathroom in such a highly trafficked area could be huge, not just for my blog and my readers, but for the commercial and financial well-being of Charleston as a whole.

Unfortunately, when I arrived, I was greeted by the sign pictured here.

I am at my wit's end with these signs. They haunt me. It seems everywhere I go in Charleston has one of these signs. Reliable public toilets in the holy city are becoming fewer and farther between.

I'm giving you one last chance, Charleston. If I see one of these signs at the next restroom I go to, there will be hell to pay. Do not fail me.

God bless.

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...

TRAVEL REVIEW: Washington DC

This has been the longest time between posts on this blog in its entire history but I really did need quite a long time to process the events of this summer. As far as public toilets go, the past two months have been quite a rollercoaster. I have seen the extreme ends of the toilet universe and frankly, I believe I'm a stronger man because of it. When I arrived in Washington DC, I was expecting a vast landscape of top notch toilets as far as the eye can see. DC reportedly has a current population of about 700,000 people and is visited by about 20 million tourists each year. With such vast numbers in such a small city limit, one would think that there would be a huge number of public bathrooms to accommodate. Well, in certain cases one would be right and in others, not so much. A quick look at Google Maps will show you that there is a handful of public restrooms around the National Mall, which makes sense. That is statistically the most trafficked location in the city. However, ther...
