[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh yeah, those dive bar bathrooms of Philly! You could eat your meals off the floor![/quote]

[b]You are proving the point that the East coast is dirtier than the rest of the country[/b]. However, just because dive bars in Philly are nasty as well as Jersey rest stops and much of NY--doesn't mean DC has to be. It would be relatively easy to institute some 'clean'  policies here, given that our city has wide boulevards, concentrated restaurants etc, and known hot spots of tourism (the mall) or homeless (our libraries, coffee shops and grocery store bathrooms as well as bus stops). We collect taxes for pubic works and pay for inspectors.
That thread on Union Station would be depressing if it weren't so funny.  I think our Mayor and Councilmembers should be asked to each spend half an hour in a stall, including maneuvering suitcases and guiding a small child's bathroom visit, and then come out and eat a sandwich (see if they're appetized).[/quote]
LOL. Have you been to SF?[/quote]

Yes, I was there recently. Granted, I was just in the very main "touristy parts" and believe there are gross parts-- but comparatively (to our tourist parts) found them extremely clean. There was nothing skeevy about airport restrooms, downtown shop restrooms, restaurant bathrooms, the museum bathroom I visited, the wharf, the market. In fact, I was surprised because I had heard in advance about how filthy SF is, and everything I encountered was cleaner than DC. I had a very pleasant, sanitary tourist experience. Says a lot about DC either laziness or arrogance, not less our own willingness to  wallow in filth. We use these nasty facilities too.

What kind of medical condition do you have that you believe you can speak to the public restrooms in the entire country? Or is it just your anxious ocd ramping up in advance of a trip here?[/quote]
