Looks like there might be some relief in sight! Some adaption of http://www.deadlinedetroit.com/artic...next_big_thing running up and down Woodward under the Trade Name "Callaloo" where you could summon the nearest one when you needed to go. I don't know how it might work out if you're running on a Pacemaker. [[maybe you'd stop while you go)

Or if places like Starbucks and Subway in midtown kept their washrooms unlocked, my mission would be accomplished.

pinball petes arcade in ann arbor locks its bathroom and have to ask for a key.
the starbucks upstairs is open and does not require a key.

the starbucks at warren + woodward requires a key.

this is a major issue in all big cities.

searching for public toilet new york brings up a slew of articles, from 1991, 2000, 2005, 2012 etc. all the same problem. 'not enough toilets'.
http://www.nytimes.com/1991/05/21/ny...any-rules.html

its not just detroit. theres a serious lack of restrooms in all of SE michigan.
even the suburbs. i've taken to stopping at various hospitals to find open restrooms.
most of the hospitals in detroit have locked restrooms... at least hutzle on st antoine and henry ford on grand blvd.
kresge might have open ones near the pharmacy.

libraries, fast food, grocery stores, gas stations. good luck.

I can recall hearing an intern's story. He grew up in Saginaw. He had to go to the bathroom and outside of big cities all places like gas stations or 7-11s have them for public use.

He learned about this the hard way.

I've never experienced locked restrooms in Hospitals! Maybe they were just small ones and occupied!

**wolverine** · April-11-13, 11:55 PM

^ Growing up in Saginaw as well, restrooms for non-customer use were always hard to find. You had to ask, and even in some places in Oldtown and downtown buzzed in. He's probably from Saginaw Township or something. Anywhere outside a city you'll find restrooms open at McDonald's or Speedway. I guess some people aren't accustomed to the difficulties and inconveniences of city life!

dave

the only person lacking common sense and sight is you

**Eber Brock Ward** · April-15-13, 01:29 PM

After seeing the absolute beatdown that dave is taking in this thread, I took the day off of work today to drink lots of water piss all over buildings and sidewalks in Midtown.

You're welcome, dave.

I just got bored arguing with lamebrains like Detroit12. You're only welcome if you pissed all over the Starbucks and Subway storefronts.

I'm still amazed that people were psychoanalyzing Ray1936's "Detroit Bank Holdup" joke.

I have noticed this problem in Detroit too and while it's annoying I figure it's for our own safety [[homeless people lingering in there and such). I'm also a Windsorite but we can't really compare these two locations. Most of the "homeless" people in downtown Windsor aren't actually homeless - they just pretend to be. Plus, the fast food/franchise restaurants in Windsor seem to be much better staffed than those across the river and the staff seem much more devoted to actually keeping the restaurants clean.

**KJ5** · July-17-13, 11:44 PM

IT'S ALIVE!!! Bwa-ha-hahaha!! C'mon on back, Dave "Mr. Lahey" Windsor. We'll replace all our honest-to-goodness homeless with kids just trying to bum money for weed, I swear...

Here I sit broken hearted,

I know, right! Can't believe he rose to the bait and got this stupid thread really off and rolling again. Its resurrection was entirely too easy.

I don't think it's a "stupid thread". I think I made legitimate points about what's wrong with this area.

BUT,

If you think this is a "stupid thread" and you are responding to it, what does that make you for participating in it? Stupid?
