Have you ever been on a trip, found yourself in a public restroom and thought, wow, that’s some restroom? It happened to me once, at the top of the John Hancock Center on a particularly c-c-c-cold night in February. I was having drinks with some friends at the Signature Room on the 95th floor, ducked out to the bathroom and found that I didn’t have to leave the view behind during my absence. With their huge windows overlooking the cityscape, the Signature Room bathrooms are pretty memorable and amazing (not to mention slightly vertigo-inducing), so it didn’t surprise me a bit to find them listed as finalists for the America’s Best Bathroom Award 2008. Among the other contenders for this year’s award are bathrooms in New York’s Grand Central Station, Nashville’s Hermitage Hotel and the Iowa 80 Truck Stop in Walcott, Iowa. Quite a diverse list of candidates! Through July 31, you can vote online for your favorite. Now let the potty talk begin.
