Portlanders: You guys all know that I am involved in, and concerned with, matters of public (and extraterrestrial) urination. Today the leader of PHLUSH (Public Hygiene Lets Us Stay Human), Carol mcCreary, sent along a preview of the new public restrooms she’s been working a lot on. These will be in Ankeny plaza, right next to the Skidmore Fountain. She wants our feedback. Perhaps the most controversial feature is the fact that the toilets are unisex–a first for Portland. Take a look, tell me what you think!:

FEATURES:

• Ten unisex Stalls
• 2 ADA accessible Stalls (open 24hrs)
• No Urinals
• All sexes pee together in harmony

FUN FACT:

The layout of this type of public restroom, where everyone pees together, is called “gang toilets,” which may make going to the bathroom strangely attractive to mislead youth.
