Down the toilet in TV
 
Someday I may publish a picture book of the restrooms of the Villages that might be called “Down the toilet in TV”. Being a little older and always wanting to be prepared, I am all too frequently taking advantage of a restroom. I have found that in the Villages they are all unique, beautiful, clean, and readily available. It’s something that struck me as being totally different from any other place that I had visited or lived in.

On my first visit to TV some 4 years ago, it was nice to have so many TV restrooms to choose from and discover that they are all very clean. I continue to cherish that thought today, every day.

And I noticed that everyone has a unique motif. The colors, sinks, handles, mirrors, and lights are all different. About the only thing that seems to be common throughout is the toilet paper. Now, I assume that the same holds true for all the ladies restrooms.

There must be hundreds that I have yet to visit. If you see me taking a few in you know what, I am only taking them for my book.

Guess where in TV this restroom is located!

I have had company comment on how clean the restrooms are here in TV. It is leaves a lasting good impression. :)

Yes, located in the new Rec/Sales center in Fenney.

Yes they are numerous, clean and nicely designed and decorated - and free (you fellow international travelers understand).

borjo 11-12-2017 09:28 AM

Whenever we get new visitors, not only do we take them to some rec centers but we make sure they see the rest rooms too! That has always been a part of the tour.

perrjojo 11-12-2017 09:30 AM

The ladies room at Eisenhower rec center is amazing!

Francie 11-12-2017 10:42 AM

Once in a great while I will find a somewhat messy men's room in the Villages. Not very often though.

I had thought about publishing a list of clean restrooms in New York City. Had I published it, it would have ruined my years of trial and error.

NYC blessed with the stink everywhere decided to put public rest rooms on the street. They had a budget. They had several proposals. Right or wrong, some group decided it must be handicap accessible. After all the debate it was decided the only way they could meet all of the requirements was to have a full time person at each location to assist people. With that cost, it simply could not be done-SO IT WAS NOT.

This is one of my favorites and so easy to guess where. Maybe I should name the book “My favorite or frequently visited rooms in TV”.

Any trucker will tell you that MacDonalds have excellent and clean bathrooms. Glad our esteemed developer is equal to fast food. Fast houses...fast food...same thing.

That was the thought when my wife had to really go...when we were near the capital building in Denver.

She rushes in the women's room, then quickly rushes back out pleading to me... "do you have a quarter?" :22yikes:

Yep, the first and only time...I've ever seen a McDonalds that had pay toilets. :D

twoplanekid 11-12-2017 08:17 PM

Having frequented many a McD’s restroom, they don’t seem to me to be equal in any respect to the restrooms in the Villages. When outside the bubble on a trip, we do try to stop at a McDonalds, Wendy’s or Cracker Barrel before seeking relief at a gas station.

twoplanekid 11-13-2017 11:43 AM

This restroom is located in what Rec Center?

do not drink the water
 
I used the restroom on the golf course in Fenney. No sink. They use reclaimed water for the toilet and there is a sign telling you not to drink it. Duh

That is true the only problem is the toilet paper is so cheap & it does not roll out properly & sometimes gets stuck where you get little pieces here & there.

Villager Dude 11-18-2017 10:07 PM

Bathroom ?

Thanks, I was walking back to the cart and thought it was a unique photo op. Only in The Villages could bathrooms be so photogenic

It never ceases to please my eye the cleanliness, beautiful and varying decor of the rest rooms. It's the little things that make the big picture so pleasant.

Laudette 11-21-2017 01:01 PM

Lol! I love the restrooms too! I thought I was the only one saying (come see the bathroom! ).
