Recently a nice letter from a lady and a “praise piece” length in the Advocate called attention to the glories of the area city, Cuero.
I’d like to pile on this growing glory of Cuero, and it’ll be on a subject that must not be greeted with laughter, scorn, anger, embarrassment or vituperate verbal (or written) vitriol.
Background: When was it, two or three years ago when the City of Cuero invested $300,000 in building and offering for use by “everyone” a huge public restroom? I say it’s money well spent.
The past two weeks, Mrs. Kenney accompanied by a son and their 8-year-old son from Shanghai and Taipe City, stopped off in Cuero, not of emergency but bent on utilization — just to say we did use the public restroom.
Let me say, right here, loud and clear, “The $300,000 was well spent.”
And would any and every city council, at least in South Texas, give serious thought to build a public restroom of its own.
Cuero’s facility was large, spacious, air conditioned, easily available (it would take perhaps 30 in there at once to overcrowd it, I must say. When we stopped there, nobody else used it. Is this an indication of waste? No!
Of course, it was divided, men and women. My female relative thought their part was very nice.
I particularly like the fact that it was so solid it would take a large man with a large hammer to damage the lovely walls. Also, there are no extra chairs, benches or (should I write it?) commodes. Thus, vagrancy should not be a danger or unsatisfactory surroundings.
As far as I could determine, everything works (not always the case of municipal properties), and that sums it up.
There is one negative: It’s on Main Street, which isn’t Cuero’s main street; and the restroom sign is really hard to find when instructions do not include specifics. Because of this, I would advise the City of Cuero to erect a large (possibly luminous) sign at the entrance of Main Street from the main drag.
I even have a sign describing the joint pleasers of Cuero. The sign with a (flashing?) large arrow pointing out the restrooms. This sign could say “Cuero, City of Sighs and Satisfaction. You are welcome to the nation’s best public restrooms. While here, look over our great city — Cuero. You’ll like everything else that you’ll appreciate.”
