Now You Can Finally Shit On City Hall

The wait is over.

The city’s first public toilet is here.

All citizens, rejoice! In a brief ceremony — yes, a ceremony — the Oz-like curtains were removed from around the pay toilet, which is now operational for just a quarter on the north side of City Hall.

One connected man — even with pay toilets, it’s how everything gets done in this city — was chosen to be the first to take the celebratory flush.

“If you compare this toilet to a typical Port-O-John, the difference is night and day,” says James Lewis, the director of facilities and public property for the city, and the pay toilet’s first user. “It was a really wonderful experience,” he said of being the first one to flush the city’s newest addition.

Amen, I say. This toilet opening clearly is the beginning of a new golden age for our fair city. Take that, Julia Vitullo-Martin!
