So, what are the odds Ford shows up at a street festival this weekend and proclaims it 'awesome', despite having voted against BIA levies to fund it?
I would buy that! Especially if you rate the places based on condition of the bathroom and whether they give you a hard time if you're not a customer.
My favourite "public" washroom was the old Four Seasons Hotel on Avenue between Cumberland and Yorkville. (It's now being converted to condos while a new Four Seasons sprung up on Bay & Yorkville.) There was a side entrance on Avenue Road that was mostly always unlocked. No doorman or concierge desk there, you could continue into the main lobby or take the escalator to the second level where there was a restaurant (visited by many people who weren't necessarily hotel guests).
I would walk in and immediately go up the escalator, then go towards the restaurant -- the bathrooms were right before its entrance. And they were awesome! Clean, well appointed, with classical music softly piped in through speakers! I often wasn't dressed well enough to pass for a restaurant guest, but I could be a tourist. I saw many average looking American tourists in sneakers and cheesy t-shirts -- but they were well off enough to stay there! The key was to move quickly and purposefully, like you belonged in the hotel. Don't look around to see if anyone noticed you coming in or hesitate.
LOL!! Once again, the stuff you can pick up from this thread!
Which speech are you referring to?
He deserves help as a person - and that help should not be construed as validation or support for him to continue his role as the mayor, which is something he is unfit for.

Jesus, RRR, you should start a George Costanza-style Toronto toilet locator app.
Or do it Rob Ford style and use one of the 36 conveniently-located pissoirs that are already on site. They even have shades to block the sun and rain!
Rob Ford, resignation-refusal expert, calls on someone else to resign

Toronto Life
Nobody in Toronto politics has ignored more requests to resign than Rob Ford, but that hasn’t stopped him from making the same demand of another public servant. At a press conference yesterday, Ford demanded that Waterfront Toronto CEO John Campbell step aside over his organization’s spending, which has included nearly $1 million on furniture for Sugar Beach and around $600,000 for a washroom at Cherry Beach. (Waterfront Toronto has provided detailed explanations of both of those spending decisions, and they seem legit.) The irony of Ford advocating punishment for a public official who hasn’t, like him, been shown to have abused the public trust in almost every way short of outright theft or murder, has seemingly been lost on nobody. Even so, Campbell played it cool during an interview this morning with CBC’s Matt Galloway. “To a certain degree this comes with the territory,†he said.
I don't know if there is valid suspicion about his role in the death of Anthony Smith or if it's runaway speculation. However, I do know that a man is dead, and that in someway his world intersected with the mayor's underworld, and the mayor has refused for over a year to speak to either the media or the police about any of it. For anyone else in any position that had any kind of effective oversight, this would be more than enough to remove him from the job.
basic - From your silence on it, I am assuming that your contact via Reddit with this user name produced no response. Correct?
I'm getting worried about you, casita.
Pissoirs....
Ok I read that on the RT and spit my water out onto some guy. Thanks a lot
