All-glass restrooms in Texas town up for national award
A set of two $27,000 restrooms in the Sulphur Springs, Texas, courthouse square are up for the prestigious honor of Americas Best Restroom in a contest created by Cintas, the business supply company.
Any public restroom in the country is eligible for nomination. Last year, the restroom at the New Braunfels Buc-ees was inducted into the Americas Best Restroom Hall Of Fame. Nominations can be sent through an online form on the contest site. A selection committee bases their nominations on eligibility, style, and how well the nominees take to being considered for the award.
What makes the restrooms in Sulphur Springs, located in the northeast corner of the state, so special is that they are all glass and constructed with one-way mirrors. Those using the facilities can see out, but no one can see inside while you are doing your business.
Sulphur Springs city manager Marc Maxwell says that using the restrooms which opened last fall does take some getting used to.

(15,564 posts)When I was younger, I couldn't even bring magazines into the bathroom with me because the pictures of famous would be looking at me.
That said, a good prank would be to get a group of people together and wait for someone to go into one then stare at the restroom and take pictures as if they could see inside.

Then I'd approach the wall and shade my eyes with my hands and pretend to try to peer in.
