This restroom, as one might be able to extract from the title, is located just in the doors of Midway Airport. Midway Airport is a mid-level, mid-traffic airport located on the outskirts of Chicago, Illinois. This "Big Onion" airport restroom has many of the features that are commonplace nowadays. As it is still a relatively popular airport that attracts extremely diverse groups of people, it has to be made to suit their needs.
It also has be extremely clean, as airports are often breeding grounds for disease (super-flu and all that jazz). This restroom possesses the capabilities that would allow it to prevent the user from contracting super-flu. Its hygienic features are substandard,although sufficient, and place it behind the modern restroom. It lacks any automated features, excluding the self-flushing urinals. Although many may view this as way to spread and breed new diseases, it does provide much more ease for the user. I find that many automated features in a restroom hinder my actual use of the restroom. My least favorite automaton: the motion-sensing faucet. This restroom, devoid of electronics of any sort, I find enhances the experience of the user. I am also protected from the coming Robot Rebellion, and feel safe knowing that I will, at no point in my restroom experience, will have a sink strike while I am most unaware. For that feeling of safety, this restroom receives a 6.5/10 on the Roush Restroom Rating scale.
The toilets and urinals, themselves, are no different from the hygienic features of the restrooms. Upon entering the aforementioned restroom, I was surprised at its cleanliness. The toilet bowls were all the off-white color you would expect them to be. When one views them, they may be reminded of the arctic tundra, a bleak white landscape containing little life. Although, this lack of life is beneficial to the user, as most people do not aim to contract STD's when they use the toilet. The stalls appear like blank metal slates, lacking in graffiti, whether it be the poorly scrawled swastika, or the crude joke quickly throw down with the users on-hand Sharpie. Although most restrooms cause suspicion to arise despite their cleanly appearance, this restroom is cleanly enough to force one to forget about the enormous amount of bacteria lurking beneath their uncovered bottoms. For defeating mild germaphobia, the toilets receive an 8/10 on the Roushs Restroom rating scale. Also, for safety reasons, I can assure the American public that, so far, these restrooms are 100% Al-Queda free. I bet you are glad that you took your shoes in public now. ONE BY ONE! TAKING AMERICA'S RESTROOMS BACK!
