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...

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...
