Really Important Stuff

I have this feeling that I'm the last person on the Internet to find this site, Restroom Ratings, which...er, rates restrooms.

Cossetta's Pizzeria and Italian Grocery, on West Seventh in Saint Paul:

The warm, inviting atmosphere of famous Italian deli and restaurant Cosetta's ends at their restroom door. The actual door is quite nice. Some sort of heavy hardwood. I'm not making any wagers on the type as I'm notoriously bad at identifying wood (I don't know my Birch from my Beech). But, trust me, it's nice.

Inside, you're greeted with exposed pipework, missing tiles and cheap chipped countertops. However, a rigorous cleaning schedule posted on the (really nice) door ensured that things were modestly well kept. Nothing was backed up. Nothing was flooding. Nothing was overflowing. The water ran when you turned it on and it stopped when you turned it off. Great. Now, back to my pizza.

After all these years, finally - a place to write about the Half-Time Rec's rest room.

(Remember Trainspotting's "Worst Lavatory in Scotland?" It's right up there).

Irma Bombeck commented on the necessity of this type of information, especially for women traveling outside the U.S. Which ones are squatty potties, do you need to bring your own t.p., how much change will you need to have on hand....
