Iconic Toilets Celebrate Centennial

“The notion of ‘fitting’ inside a urinal may not appeal to everyone. But that’s a pretty fair description of the experience. These big boys are so spacious and tall, and with shoulders that extend almost behind you and certainly far enough that no one can look over and make unfair judgments, that one might go so far as to describe the experience of relieving yourself as enveloping, even nurturing. And perhaps most important of all — certainly for the quality of life of subsequent bar patrons — the margin of error is huge. You basically can’t miss.”
 — This is a rather enjoyable celebration of the urinals at Old Town Bar, which is indeed a terrific place to piss. The fixtures turn 100 years old next week.
