This just in from Canada:

When tourists ask for the bathroom in the Minneapolis airport lately, it’s usually not because they have to go…“It’s become a tourist attraction,” said Karen Evans, information specialist at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. “People are taking pictures.”…Just 15 minutes into her shift Friday, Evans said she had been asked directions to the new tourist attraction four times. Other airport workers field the same question. “It’s by the Lottery shop, right next to the shoeshine shop,” said newsstand worker Abdalla Said, adding he gets the question daily. The Royal Zino Shoeshine shop owner’s grandson, Royal Zino, said it has been hectic. “People have been going inside, taking pictures of the stall, taking pictures outside the bathroom door — man, it’s been crazy,” he said. On their way to Guatemala, Jon and Sally Westby of Minneapolis made a visit. “We had to just stop and check out the bathroom,” Sally said. “In fact, it’s Jon’s second time — he was here last week already.”

HL Mencken and PT Barnum were right.
