WASHINGTON, DC -- When you gotta go, you gotta go -- and sometimes D.C. businesses aren't keen on letting non-customers use their restrooms. So D.C. is experimenting with public restrooms by installing two standalone facilities in the city soon, according to a report.
WTOP reports that the city will install two 24-hour, standalone public restrooms in undetermined high-traffic neighborhoods.
