Anchorage Potties A fun article in Monday's Daily News on the best downtown potties. I feel very cutting edge, media-wise, with my Bathrooms I Have Visited category. But I have to say that I don't quite romanticize bathrooms in the way the reporter does: It's an interlude between our inner and outer selves, a safe place to cry about work and relationships, where we can escape the tedious details of our lives while crouched on a toilet seat imagining grander things. Finding a nice bathroom in the midst of shopping, watching a play or buying a book can be as reassuring as meeting up with an old friend. It can reaffirm our best hopes while offering the strength needed to pull up our pants and face this often cruel and impersonal world. Although, I agree that the heated potty seats at Orso definitely border on the sublime. 5:23:54 PM    comment []
