#1 TOURIST ATTRACTION

Big Bore and I whizzed down south to the neighboring county yesterday to check out the annual Elk Falls Outhouse Festival. What a relief it was to see that the Go Green entry was back once again. The Flaming Bore loves asparagus ferns AND bottle trees, plus the French door picture windows appeal to the exhibitionist in all of us. Oui, oui!

My Number One vote this year, however, went to Starbuttz Privy, a delightful three-holer that had the look of metropolitan authenticity. I liked the fact that the porta-potties resembled beverage cups from the real Starbucks, and even the toilet paper was upscale looking with the company logo. Very chi-chi creative. And who can resist a Peppermint Mocha? There was even patio furniture outside for those who wanted an extended break. Nice touch. It wouldn't surprise me if this idea caught fire and a new franchise hit the streets--for those hurried coffee aficianados who prefer to drink and run at the same time! Cheers!
