News Streetalk: How long will you wait for the new toilet at Piedmont Park?

Jason: It would be a minute and a half before I'd pee on that tree right there — but unfortunately I’m with a girl right now, so you know how that goes. When you’re with somebody, you sit there and wait, and you continue to wait until you make it to the one port-a-potty they have at Piedmont Park. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t be waiting. I’m good right now. Maybe in another 10 minutes it could get a little urgent. They have 50 port-a-potties we can’t use. It’s fenced off unless you want to pay $30 to go to [Park] Tavern.
Bianca: I’ve been here about 10 minutes. I don’t even know what I’ll do. But [the park's new public restroom] looks really cool. I don’t know what it is. It’s not a port-a-potty. It looks really automatic and up-to-date. So that does make you want to stay a little longer. I’ll wait 10 minutes, or maybe more. I want to see what it looks like inside. It does look new and clean. If it was a regular port-a-potty, I’d probably find a bathroom before I got home. But because of the way it looks, I’ll stay longer.
Susan: I will wait awhile, because I don’t have to go that bad. But my girlfriend just paid $10 to cut in line after we waited about 10 minutes, after they denied her at those port-a-potties. She really had to go but I don’t have to go that bad. I figure I already have this spot in this line; I might as well take advantage of it while I’m here. I’ll have to go in 20 minutes, I’m sure. I don’t want to start this whole process all over again.
